Some essays were less my vibe than others but for the most part, Samantha Irby continues to be vulgar, unabashed, and unimpressed by life in general. She gives no fucks and it's great!
I especially appreciated the essays on "finding your soulmate" or a "life mate" - I agree that I don't think there's just one person for you in this big wide world, and I loved how Samantha basically said, "you shouldn't just get into a romantic relationship because that's what you think you should do. It is not a requirement. Don't do it if you don't want to and if you don't really like the person!" Like, being in a relationship can be *miserable* so why do it if you're not sold??? You don't have to! I promise!
Overall, another compilation of goofy essays, and I loved the audiobook!
