About this audiobook
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • This essay collection from the “bitches gotta eat” blogger, writer on Hulu’s Shrill and HBO's And Just Like That, and “one of our country’s most fierce and foulmouthed authors” (Amber Tamblyn, Vulture) is sure to make you alternately cackle with glee and cry real tears.
"A sidesplitting polemicist for the most awful situations.”—The New York Times
Whether Samantha Irby is talking about how her difficult childhood has led to a problem in making “adult” budgets; explaining why she should be the new Bachelorette (she's "35-ish, but could easily pass for 60-something"); detailing a disastrous pilgrimage-slash-romantic-vacation to Nashville to scatter her estranged father's ashes; sharing awkward sexual encounters; or dispensing advice on how to navigate friendships with former drinking buddies who are now suburban moms (hang in there for the Costco loot!); she’s as deft at poking fun at the ghosts of her past self as she is at capturing powerful emotional truths.
Don't miss Samantha Irby's bestselling new book, Quietly Hostile!

Could not finish this. I have heard grocery store announcements sound more interesting than this author. I thought it was suppose to be funny but was just crude and boring.

Absolutely devoured Meaty and Wow, No Thank You last year, and could be found constantly mid-cackle. So glad I decided to go for the audio version is this book - it has extra layers of hilarity when read by Sam herself. I loved it, and will be purchasing the audio recordings of her other books to enjoy while I lend out my paperbacks to friends.

I'm so glad I bought this in audiobook format instead of a hard or ebook
copy. It's the best version. The author reads it with this dry and deadpan
humor that had me laughing until I cried. I'm definitely listening to it
again. Samantha is brutally honest about her life, her thoughts, and her
activities. I could really relate. There spots where I said out loud, "Same
girl. Same." I definitely recommend this. It's raw, hilarious, and real.
