A hilarious collection of essays ranging from the writing process to health problems to getting older to relationships and married life.
This is the first book I’ve read from Irby (but won’t be the last!). I’ll admit it took me a bit to get into the flow of it. The audiobook is read by Irby herself, and once I got used to her reading style, I really enjoyed listening to this book. It gets heavy at times, but really packs a punch.
There’s quite a bit of self-deprecating humor as well as graphic descriptions. If that’s not your cup of tea, maybe skip over this one. But it you’re fine with plenty of poop jokes and sex stories, this is a hilarious book.
