A New York Times Bestseller
 
This essay collection from the &;bitches gotta eat&; blogger, writer on Hulu&;s Shrill, and &;one of our country&;s most fierce and foulmouthed authors&; (Amber Tamblyn, Vulture) is sure to make you alternately cackle with glee and cry real tears.

Whether Samantha Irby is talking about how her difficult childhood has led to a problem in making &;adult&; budgets; explaining why she should be the new Bachelorette (she's "35-ish, but could easily pass for 60-something"); detailing a disastrous pilgrimage-slash-romantic-vacation to Nashville to scatter her estranged father's ashes; sharing awkward sexual encounters; or dispensing advice on how to navigate friendships with former drinking buddies who are now suburban moms (hang in there for the Costco loot!); she&;s as deft at poking fun at the ghosts of her past self as she is at capturing powerful emotional truths.

The woman behind "Bitchesgottaeat.com' shares stories of her life from a failed "Bachelorette" application and awkward sexual encounters to a romantic vacation and ill-fated pilgrimage to scatter her estranged father's ashes in Nashville.
