A collection of often gross and/or hilarious essays, so it's classic Irby!

This time around Irby shares her love for Dave Matthews and Sex and the City in extreme detail that kind of made me scratch my head. I mean, we're talking about breaking down lyrics from a ton of DMB songs, breaking down an obscene amount of scenes from the OG SaTC series... obviously there's some hilarious observations here but I had to skim after I was 10+ pages into these obsessions.

She's still discussing IBS, healthcare, ageing, and plenty of relevant topics in awkward detail that leaves me cackling.

Thanks to Vintage and NetGalley for providing me with an ARC in exchange for my honest review. Quietly Hostile: Essays is scheduled for release on May 16, 2023.
