Average rating4
Staring down the barrel of her fortieth year, Samantha Irby is confronting the ways her life has changed since the days she could work a full 11 hour shift on 4 hours of sleep, change her shoes and put mascara on in the back of a moving cab and go from drinks to dinner to the club without a second thought. Recently, things are more 'Girls Gone Mild.' In Wow, No Thank You Irby discusses the actual nightmare of living in a rural idyll, weighs in on body negativity (loving yourself is a full-time job with shitty benefits) and poses the essential question: Sure sex is fun but have you ever googled a popular meme?

Of course it's hilarious and also very sweet! OF COURSE. Also, there's something about the line, “Hello 911? I have to cancel an appointment,” that is going to make me laugh forever.
Forget breath of fresh air, this book is a wind tunnel of realness! “Relatable” is a vast understatement for what lies between these digital covers. I laughed, I got the feels, I felt personally attacked–everything necessary for memorable book I'd recommend to all my friends. There will be more than a few re-reads of this book in my near and distant future.
