funny lighthearted reflective relaxing medium-paced

3.5

This set of comedic essays lives up to its genre; It's not often that a book makes me audibly chuckle, but this one did. I deeply appreciated that Samatha Irby let readers glimpse moments in her life with a vulnerability that I would never be able to muster up. I saw myself reflected in some moments of her life and felt that I had a new understanding of those that I've never faced myself.

norcgr01's review

Theres is an overwhelming amount of negative, self-referrential, self-deprecation trying to present itself as humor that grows tiresome when the jokes are the same tune played by different instruments. It was hard to enjoy it due to this negativity.
