We Are Never Meeting in Real Life.: Essays - Samantha Irby

A New York Times Bestseller This essay collection from the bitches gotta eat blogger, writer on Hulu's Shrill , 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. 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.
