We Are Never Meeting In Real Life.

""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.
