wow, no thank you

THE NUMBER ONE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER. 'Irby might be our great bard of quarantine' - New York Times * '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?

'A laugh. A fart. A snort. Or some combination thereof. Be prepared to totally lose control of the noises that come out of your body while reading the latest essay collection from humor writer Samantha Irby' - Bustle * '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
