She has left her job as a receptionist at a veterinary clinic, has published successful books and has been friendzoned by Hollywood, left Chicago, and moved into a house with a garden that requires repairs and know-how with her wife in a Blue town in the middle of a Red state where she now hosts book clubs and makes mason jar salads. Read 4,837 reviews from the worlds largest community for readers. Irby is forty, and increasingly uncomfortable in her own skin despite what Inspirational Instagram Infographics have promised her. “Stay-up-all-night, miss-your-subway-stop, spit-out-your-beverage funny.” -Jia Tolentino, New York Times bestselling author of Trick Mirror A rip-roaring, edgy and unabashedly raunchy new collection of hilarious essays from the New York Times bestselling author of We Are Never Meeting in Real Life.Lambda Literary Award for Bisexual Nonfiction Award Winner.
