Book Club: Wow, No Thank You.


If it doesn't bother anyone, I'd like to jump right into gushing over this book.

Wow, No Thank You. is hilarious! One of those books you probably shouldn't read on public transportation unless you're comfortable lol-ing alone in a group of strangers. Samantha Irby covers a lot of ground: Pets, ghosts, car ownership, living in Chicago, marriage, poop. The list goes on! Her writing style is easy and informal, almost like she's personally telling you her stories.

As a thirty-something with growing homebody tendencies, some of her words speak directly to my SOUL. I, too, need a full day of physical prep (preceded by at least a week of mental rallying) before any Big Night Out. And like Irby, I can also survive on Doritos and Diet Coke for a shamefully long time.  

I can't wait to read her other books, just like I couldn't wait to write this post. (Confession: I'm only 75% finished but had to share right away because IT'S JUST THAT GOOD.) If you're a fan of David Sedaris or Kelly Oxford or Jessi Klein, and you're looking for something super fun to read, then you'll probably like Wow, No Thank You. A LOT :)

What are you reading these days?
