Wow, No Thank You

Wow, No Thank You: Essays by Samatha Irby, 319 pages

In this 2020 essay collection, blogger, writer, and all-around funny human Samantha Irby writes about her experiences turning 40 and moving out of Chicago to an actual house in Wisconsin to live with her now-wife. The essays detail Irby's attempts at making new friends in her new hometown; her approach to being a stepmom (what is she supposed to teach these children???); and the five stages of grief getting ready to go out with friends. All in all, this is a delightful collection, and I particularly enjoyed listening to the audiobook, which is read by the author. I'm going to have to check out the rest of her books now.
