Ask me who my favorite author is and I won't hesitate to reply with, Samantha Irby. I love Irby's books so much that I would, without a shadow of a doubt, flip to a random page in any one of them, close my eyes, point to a sentence, and tattoo said sentence across my clavicle. That's how much I love this woman.
