Publisher's Summary

In this painfully funny collection, Samantha Irby captures powerful emotional truths while chronicling the rubbish bin she calls her life.

From an ill-fated pilgrimage to Nashville to scatter her estranged father's ashes to awkward sexual encounters to the world's first completely honest job application, and more, sometimes you just have to laugh, even when your life is permanently pear-shaped.

Critic Reviews

'I cannot remember the last time I was so moved by a book. We Are Never Meeting in Real Life is as close to perfect as an essay collection can get.' - Roxane Gay, New York Times bestselling author of Difficult Women and Bad Feminist

Brilliant. Always brilliant and this time brilliant

I've given this book to every person who would take it and bored strangers on the bus about it.

Any Sam Irby book will be great and this is no exception. She's funny, it's acidic and deadpan and glorious and I will probably re-listen soon in case I missed things.

Get into it.

Minus 100 - Should have negative rating available

I would never never never recommend this book - can't wait to delete it from my library. I listened in disgust for five minutes and then tried to delete. What a load of disgusting porn.
