Kinda messy but I think she’d be happy about that. ( )

An entertaining collection of essays covering everything from writing, dating, clubbing to general living. My favourite was the one about the importance of the 'mix tape'. ( )

Not my cup of tea. Gave up at 30% because I had my fill of secondhand embarrassment for the author, didn't like the writing style, and didn't want to hear any more about her colon.

I really don't know why I put this on my library hold list. I need to be more careful. ( )

Sam Irby always cracks me up and makes me think. This book is like the opposite of humble bragging. It's like brash self-deprecation. ( )

Wow, no thank you is right… I don’t know if I shouldn’t have started with this book of hers, if the audiobook format was a bad idea, or if I am just about to turn 40 and therefore am an old fuddyduddy, but do you know how many times I yelled “MAKE BETTER CHOICES, Samantha Irby” while listening to this? If she said “Sex is great but…” or “Hello 911…” one more time I think I may have given up on the book entirely. Also, who thinks it is too difficult to wash their belly button? Like, why do 5 second personal hygiene things seem so hard to her? Wash yourself, it’s really easy. And why is she broke but going out with “friends” who will put expensive drinks on her tab? Those are terrible friends, find better friends, do people actually like people that would do that? Why does she think people are impressed by what face cream you have on your nightstand? I do not know the names of any of those face cream brands and no one I know would either. She seems to both not care about anything and also care about everyone and thinks everyone is judging everything, which most people are not and don’t care at all. I am just baffled by her choices… but I mean I guess she is doing something right because she has many books and has worked on several shows. So most likely, this is the book for someone else, not for me. You may love it. I did not. ( )
