Essays, Language & Writing | Staff Reviews

'This is an unforgettable book, the kind where the author unapologetically bares her heart and asks you to hold it tenderly, with care.' Roxane Gay Meditations on the terror of love; tips for getting your disgusting meat carcass ready for some new, hot sex; a frank self-evaluation upon the occasion of one's 30th birthday; and, finally, the answer to the question on everyone's minds: Would dying alone really be so terrible? Blogger and comedian Samantha Irby covers it all with wit and honesty - and serves it with a side of Instagram frittata.

STAFF REVIEW

Samantha Irby is hilarious. 

She is a fantastic essayist who examines her life with such warmth and humour, and she isn't afraid to cover the uncomfortable parts of living (emphasis on scatalogical humour!), which makes her writing all the more honest and fun.

All of her books are worth reading—and you'll absolutely laugh at her wit and dark sense of humour. I love this woman! Her Instagram is also worth a follow...
