Quietly Hostile

Thanks to Libro.fm and the publisher for the arc!

This was my first Irby book, so I wasn't totally sure what I was signing up for. Honestly, if Saeed Jones recommends something, I will more than likely pick it up. So! Absolutely no shade on the writing. Strong humor writing abounds here. I got a little lost in the sauce on some of the topics (I have never seen an episode of Sex and the City) which I think impacted my overall enjoyment. That being said, when Irby writes about tough topics I can't relate to (like a parent dying or going into anaphylactic shock) I found myself the most engaged and weirdly laughing the most. Was the whole book up my alley? Nope. But I get the feeling that a) she does not care, and b) I will still recommend to others.
