3.30.2020 - Wow, No Thank You

Wow, No Thank You. by Samantha Irby

Thanks to NetGalley, Knopf Doubleday/Vintage Paperbacks, and Samantha Irby for the opportunity to read and review this series of essays.  I will preface this review with saying that I'm old, so I'm sure I'm not in the target demographic for this book but there were still so many times I laughed out loud - and loudly - while reading this!

I wasn't familiar with Samantha Irby before reading this book but, hello, that cover!  Even if like me you can't quite relate to some of the topics here, you will love the honesty and openness of Irby discussing her health issues and real true life feelings that we probably never admit to ourselves, let alone the world.  Trust me - a few of these chapters alone are worth the price of this book.  A Guide to Simple Home Repairs was absolutely hilarious, as was Hello, 911.

In today's world of social distancing and fear of everything and everyone, a little humor can only help!
