- Cultural norms demolished w/ conversational wit
If Dolly Alderton made you feel seen in your messiest moments, Samantha Irby will validate every disaster you've survived and laugh at the wreckage with you. This is the same unflinching honesty about bodies, bad dates, and the friends who witness your worst decisions—but with a Midwestern bite that refuses to romanticize the chaos or pretend therapy fixed everything overnight.
Irby trades Alderton's London hangovers for Chicago anxiety spirals, skewering the same millennial delusions about love while celebrating the platonic relationships that actually show up when romance implodes.
Read this if you're done pretending adulthood means having answers instead of better jokes.
What Readers Are Saying
"Samantha Irby’s writing cracks me up on a consistent basis...it was also so much more than that — touching, emotional, relatable, surprising. And on top of all of that, just tons of fun." — Jasmine Guillory, Goodreads
"Her humour and the way she structures her essays...make her books a joy to read. It got me reading in the middle of a pandemic induced reading slump and made me happy. Irby writes about growing older, body positivity...in a way that makes these topics approachable and so funny." — Hannah, Goodreads
"Hilarious, real, and poignant...Samantha Irby has a way with self-deprecating humour and brutally honest self-awareness that somehow don't come off as depressing or cynical, but comforting...genuinely laugh out loud funny." — CaseyTheCanadianLesbrarian, Goodreads
