Why read it?
3 authors picked We Are Never Meeting in Real Life. as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This author always cracks me up, with her outrageously candid, sometimes bawdy confessions of awkward slips and romantic misalliances. She is so smart and insightful, yet so down to earth, that you just have to love her. I’m also a big fan of her collection Meaty.
From Phillip's list on comic essay collections.
I simply love Samantha Irby’s writing. It was hard to choose which of her books to include on my list! This collection of essays is breathtakingly honest, witty, and at times heartbreaking. Irby’s writing makes me cackle, while also levelling me with her vulnerability. Irby is a fierce and funny truth-teller that I can’t get enough of. Buy this book. Buy the audiobook too! Having Irby in your ear as you walk the dog or run errands is like hanging out with a friend and you will not regret it.
From Tracy's list on by funny, feminist, truth-telling women.
Irby’s writing is hilarious and full of heart whether she’s talking about her twisted bowels or her difficult childhood. Her jokes always land, and they never feel cheap or hollow because she’s an expert storyteller who is not afraid of the truth about her awkward social skills or her body. Her essays are the BOMB!
From Christie's list on the glorious truth of women’s bodies and their lives.
