A review by paperknotbooks
Quietly Hostile by Samantha Irby

funny hopeful lighthearted reflective medium-paced

3.75

Not my favorite Irby collection, but it ends with a series of great essays. I don’t know if it’s the nun porn or the overwhelming too-close-to-home diarrhea stories, but this collection just didn’t capture me like her previous books.

You know what charmed me to pieces? Sam’s take on Sex & The City. I agree with her takes 100% and it that essay was one of my favorite things I read all of 2023. Inspiring a rewatch of the show 😆
