About this audiobook
“The second book of essays from this frank and madly funny blogger.... A sidesplitting polemicist for the most awful situations.”—The New York Times, Summer Reading Pick
Sometimes you just have to laugh, even when life is a dumpster fire.
With We Are Never Meeting in Real Life., “bitches gotta eat” blogger and comedian Samantha Irby turns the serio-comic essay into an art form. Whether 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.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Samantha can do no wrong. The audiobook is even funnier.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Amazing and hysterical. Also heartbreaking. everyone on the planet should read this.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5So good! I love Samantha Irby's acerbic wit, and I might identify just a bit too much with her WP 20's and her ORD to AZO transition. She's a droll genius who love/hates her house demons just as much as I do.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5So much cussing, forewarning... hahaha but this author is my spirit animal. I NEED to meet her "in real life", lol! Funny stories about her life, complete with TONS of sarcasm, bathroom humor, and stuffed with fat references about herself. I laughed all the way through life. Thanks, Samantha!
