Description
"This is an unforgettable book, the kind where the author unapologetically bares her heart and asks you to hold it tenderly, with care." - Roxane Gay
Meditations on the terror of love; tips for getting your disgusting meat carcass ready for some new, hot sex; a frank self-evaluation upon the occasion of one's 30th birthday; and, finally, the answer to the question on everyone's minds: Would dying alone really be so terrible?
Blogger and comedian Samantha Irby covers it all with wit and honesty - and serves it with a side of Instagram frittata.
