Sometimes you just have to laugh, even when life is a dumpster fire. With We Are Never Meeting in Real Life., "bitches gotta eat" blogger and comedian Samantha Irby turns the serio-comic essay into an art form. Whether 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. My Bachelorette application -- A blues for Fred -- The miracle porker -- Do you guys pay your fucking bills or what? -- You don't have to be grateful for sex -- A Christmas carol -- Happy birthday -- A case for remaining indoors -- A total attack of the heart -- A civil union -- Mavis -- Fuck it, bitch. Stay fat -- Nashville hot chicken -- I'm in love and it's boring -- A bomb, probably -- The real housewife of Kalamazoo -- Thirteen questions to ask before getting married -- Yo, I need a job -- Feelings are a mistake -- We are never meeting in real life
