ONE OF STYLIST'S BEST NEW BOOKS FOR 2020

'This is an unforgettable book.' 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.

Critic Reviews

"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)

giggling the whole time

Irby just knows what's up. This feels like the confessions of a best friend you are coming to realise is just as insane as you. loved every bit, just wish I had a PDF of those recipes!!

I love Sam Irby

I'd already read Meaty twice and was so happy to discover Samantha Irby reads her audiobooks.
I love the way she makes fun of how gross and difficult our lives and bodies can be but without shying away from how garbage things can be too. When I read her books, and even more so listening to get read them, it feels like a friend is talking to me, but none of my friends are this funny (sorry pals).

Hated it. Irritating nasally narration.

Not my thing, nasally narration, not funny at all. Quite depressing. Removed from the library after less than an hour of listening.
