Summary

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Wow, No Thank You

'One of our culture's greatest humorists is back' Glamour

'Brilliant, hilarious and perspicacious' ELIZABETH DAY

'SO funny.' SARA PASCOE

'Wildly, seditiously funny' New York Times

'Sam Irby is the king of sparkling misanthropy and tender, loving dread.' JIA TOLENTINO

This is not an advice book. Samantha Irby doesn't know anything.

After fleeing Chicago to quarantine at home in Michigan, Irby finds herself bleaching groceries and wondering if her upper lip hairs are visible on Zoom. Her career reaches new heights: she gets to work with the iconic ladies of Sex and the City - her dream! - but behind the new-found glam, Irby is just trying to keep her life together. Our friend in print is back, on point, and ready to take us with her, from adopting Abe (her scrawny, watery-eyed firstborn dog) to her favourite, extremely specific porn searches (including two old nuns).

This book saved my life (my week!)

I’ve loved all of Samantha Irby’s books but this is my favourite. So laughing out loud on the bus funny, charming and wise. I’ve got all of her books in paperback but bought this one on audible too and it was brilliant to hear her read it, like having an irreverent friend during the crappiest week ever at work. I’ve listened to it twice and am going to buy the others on audible too. :))

Loved it

Fantastic new work by Sam. Had to listen without earphones so husband could hear what I was laughing at.

Note - Sam's speaking style is quite slow, so I listened at 1.2 speed.
