Tekst achterflap

This is not an advice book. Samantha Irby doesn't know anything.

Irby is working in Chicago when the pandemic hits. After fleeing the city and returning home to Michigan, she finds herself bleaching groceries and wondering if her upper lip hairs are visible on Zoom. She gets to work with the iconic ladies of Sex and the City - her dream! - but behind the new-found glam, Irby is just trying to keep her life together.

Her teeth are poisoning her from inside her mouth, and her diarrhoea is back. She fields job offers from Hollywood and unhinged death threats from internet trolls with incurable brain worms. She gets turned away from a restaurant for wearing ugly clothes, she goes to therapy, gets healed with Reiki, explores the power of crystals, and becomes addicted to QVC.

Our friend in print is back, on point, and ready to take us with her, from advice on bathroom attendants (to tip or not to tip) to wisdom on how to look cool in front of teens (don't ask them about books).
