About this listen

Entertainment Weekly, "Fall's 20 Must-Reads" (2018)
Essence, "Fall 2018 Guide to All Things Funny"
Bustle, "18 New Nonfiction Books to Know in October 2018"

"Robinson offers deft cultural criticism and hilarious personal anecdotes that will make readers laugh, cringe, and cry. Everything may indeed be trash but writing like this reminds us that we're gonna make it through all the terrible things with honesty, laughter, and faith." (Roxane Gay, New York Times best-selling author)

New York Times best-selling author and star of 2 Dope Queens Phoebe Robinson is back with a hilarious and timely essay collection on gender, race, dating, and the Dumpster fire that is our world.

Written in her trademark unfiltered and witty style, Robinson's latest collection is a call to arms. Outfitted with on-point pop culture references, these essays tackle a wide range of topics: giving feminism a tough-love talk on intersectionality, telling society's beauty standards to kick rocks, and calling foul on our culture's obsession with work. Robinson also gets personal, exploring money problems she's hidden from her parents, how dating is mainly a warmed-over bowl of hot mess, and, definitely most important, meeting Bono not once, but twice. She's struggled with being a woman with a political mind and a woman with an ever-changing jeans size. She knows about trash because she sees it every day - and because she's seen roughly 100,000 hours of reality TV and zero hours of Schindler's List.

With the intimate voice of a new best friend, Everything's Trash, But It's Okay is a candid perspective for a generation that has had the rug pulled out from under it too many times to count.

Critic reviews

“[Everything’s Trash, but It’s Okay] is an irresistible mash-up of stream-of-consciousness venting and measured appraisals of everything from white feminism to Bono.” (Natalie Kitroeff, The New York Times)

“[Robinson’s] like your own approachably honest bestie - the kind you’d want riding shotgun on a cross-country road trip so that her sneakily incisive tangents could stretch and weave like so many highway miles… Even when she gets serious, doling out hard-won insights about money, body shaming or the challenges interracial couples face, Robinson keeps her wits about her.” (Washington Post)

"2 Dope Queens cohost and true badass Phoebe Robinson finds the funny in societal chaos in Everything's Trash, but It's Okay." (Cosmopolitan)

Why am I in love with Phoebe's relationship with #BritishBaekoff?

I wasn't super familiar with Robinson's other than seeing her in IBIZA so it took me a minute to settle into all of the <i>abbreves</i> as she she would say. I enjoyed the essays and sincerely appreciated how honest her chapter was on her history with financial hardship.

I would definitely listen again!

Not So Guilty Pleasure

This book is delicious. Go ahead and enjoy it. If you’re not a fan yet, Phoebe’s writing will take you through many wormholes of wonderfully specific analogies and back, to on-point cultural criticism and fun anecdotes from a fascinating life in comedy. If you’re already a fan, I loved this book as much or more than her first. Five star comedian, five star book.

Queen of analogies!

Funny telling of the life lessens she’s experienced. Phoebe invoked laughter as she performed her story.

Funny!

I love Phoebe, but if I didn't know her outside of this book, I probably would have been lost for a lot of it. Phoebs is a lottle all over the place in her comedy, so if you enjoy that, then brace yourself for 4x the normal Phoebe!

Normal Phoebe x4
