maiakobabe 's review for:
We Are Never Meeting in Real Life.
by Samantha Irby
I dived into this audiobook without a solid notion of what I'd encounter in it and I feel like that was a good decision! Now I will write some spoilers, unfortunately ruining your ability to experience the book the same way. Samantha Irby is very good at making extremely mundane and/or dark subject matter extremely funny. This book ranges over public transit nightmares in Chicago; working in an animal hospital; dating, sex, fatness, disabilities, queerness, racism; the alcoholism and death of her father; the allure of trashy food and trashy TV; and Irby's relationship with the woman who would eventually become her wife. Irby has been blogging for over a decade and she still updates at https://bitchesgottaeat.blogspot.com/. I was pleased, and unsurprised, to learn from Wikipedia that she's friends with Roxane Gay and Lindy West, whose books all belong on the same shelf with this one and Irby's other collections of essays.
