About this ebook

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!

Ratings and reviews

Lame. Not funny. Racist. Tasteless. Disgusting. A real bummer. Points out her gay blackness every chance she gets. Vulgar just for the sake of vulgarity. Save your time and money..

I read "we are never meeting in real life" because i wanted a simple read for when I was laying In bed. This book was good. The author is funny and I enjoyed her stories.

Absolutely hilarious. The third book of hers I've read! Seriously can't get enough of her writing.
