An entertaining collection of essays covering everything from writing, dating, clubbing to general living. My favourite was the one about the importance of the 'mix tape'. ( ) Wow, no thank you is right… I don’t know if I shouldn’t have started with this book of hers, if the audiobook format was a bad idea, or if I am just about to turn 40 and therefore am an old fuddyduddy, but do you know how many times I yelled “MAKE BETTER CHOICES, Samantha Irby” while listening to this? If she said “Sex is great but…” or “Hello 911…” one more time I think I may have given up on the book entirely. Also, who thinks it is too difficult to wash their belly button? Like, why do 5 second personal hygiene things seem so hard to her? Wash yourself, it’s really easy. And why is she broke but going out with “friends” who will put expensive drinks on her tab? Those are terrible friends, find better friends, do people actually like people that would do that? Why does she think people are impressed by what face cream you have on your nightstand? I do not know the names of any of those face cream brands and no one I know would either. She seems to both not care about anything and also care about everyone and thinks everyone is judging everything, which most people are not and don’t care at all. I am just baffled by her choices… but I mean I guess she is doing something right because she has many books and has worked on several shows. So most likely, this is the book for someone else, not for me. You may love it. I did not. sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica

"Irby is forty, and increasingly uncomfortable in her own skin despite what Inspirational Instagram Infographics have promised her. She has left her job as a receptionist at a veterinary clinic, has published successful books and has been friendzoned by Hollywood, left Chicago, and moved into a house with a garden that requires repairs and know-how with her wife in a Blue town in the middle of a Red state where she now hosts book clubs and makes mason jar salads. This is the bourgeois life of a Hallmark Channel dream. She goes on bad dates with new friends, spends weeks in Los Angeles taking meetings with "tv executives slash amateur astrologers" while being a "cheese fry-eating slightly damp Midwest person," "with neck pain and no cartilage in [her] knees," who still hides past due bills under her pillow. The essays in this collection draw on the raw, hilarious particulars of Irby's new life. Wow, No Thank You is Irby at her most unflinching, riotous, and relatable"--Amazon.com.
