‘Samantha Irby is the king of sparkling misanthropy and tender, loving dread.’ Jia Tolentino

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?

‘The only writer who can make me laugh with abandon in public… Her signature irreverence is intact, of course, but it can’t mask the heart she leaves bleeding on the page.’ Elle

‘Samantha Irby is hilarious… Nothing is off limits and I love it.’ Candice Carty-Williams
