Samantha Irby has returned to the printed page for her fourth book following her 2020 breakout, Wow, No Thank You. The success of Irby's career has taken her to new heights. She fields calls with job offers from Hollywood and walks the red carpet with the iconic ladies of Sex and the City. Finally, she has made it. But, behind all that new-found glam, Irby is just trying to keep her life together as she always had. Her teeth are poisoning her from inside her mouth, and her diarrhea is back. She gets turned away from a restaurant for wearing ugly clothes, she goes to therapy and tries out Lexapro, gets healed with Reiki, explores the power of crystals, and becomes addicted to QVC. Making light of herself as she takes us on an outrageously funny tour of all the details that make up a true portrait of her life, Irby is once again the relatable, uproarious tonic we all need.
What The Reviewers Say
She finds the funny in the terrible — and thankfully for us readers, takes pleasure in making us laugh, too.
She never wallows in loathing, self- or otherwise. Instead, she lets us all in on the joke. And what a joke it is.
A masterclass in situating pitch-perfect comedy and deep sincerity side by side.
Another collection of humorous, self reflective essays. She is at her comic best in several pieces.
