About this listen

'I cannot remember the last time I was so moved by a book. We Are Never Meeting in Real Life is as close to perfect as an essay collection can get.' - Roxane Gay, New York Times bestselling author of Difficult Women and Bad Feminist

In this painfully funny collection, Samantha Irby captures powerful emotional truths while chronicling the rubbish bin she calls her life. From an ill-fated pilgrimage to Nashville to scatter her estranged father's ashes to awkward sexual encounters to the world's first completely honest job application, and more, sometimes you just have to laugh, even when your life is permanently pear-shaped.

A book on self-deprecation

There are a few parts that are funny but for the majority, it feels like a creative license for self-deprecation. You of course learn why the author is such from her life stories in the book.

The only one thing I found truly witty and clever was her relationship and interaction with her cat, Helen Keller.

Separated at birth?

I'm not sure if I can review this book fairly. I relate to Irby on so many things. I could've written this book myself if I was as clever. The wittiness is enjoyable to read.
