Wow, No Thank You.: Essays This item: Wow, No Thank You.: Essays Samantha Irby 4.2 out of 5 stars 4,137. The essays in this collection draw on the raw, hilarious particulars of Irby's new life. She goes on bad dates with new friends, spends weeks in Los Angeles taking meetings with "TV executives slash amateur astrologers" while being a "cheese fry-eating slightly damp Midwest person," "with neck pain and no cartilage in knees," who still hides past due bills under her pillow. This is the bourgeois life of a Hallmark Channel dream. She shares that she’s super nosy about how other people get beautiful and that she has her own desire to be a lavish, stylish, trendy, Instagram-face-mask-wearing person. She has left her job as a receptionist at a veterinary clinic, has published successful books and has been friendzoned by Hollywood, left Chicago, and moved into a house with a garden that requires repairs and know-how with her wife in a Blue town in the middle of a Red state where she now hosts book clubs and makes mason jar salads. The first essay in Wow, No Thank You,Irby’s most recent New York Times-bestselling collection, spoofs Into The Gloss (beauty brand Glossier’s magazine). Irby is 40, and increasingly uncomfortable in her own skin despite what Inspirational Instagram Infographics have promised her. A new rip-roaring essay collection from the smart, edgy, hilarious, unabashedly raunchy, and best-selling Samantha Irby.
