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...
