68: We Are Never Meeting In Real Life by Samantha Irby

68: We Are Never Meeting In Real Life by Samantha Irby


It’s time for another book club episode! Gen and Jette talk about their March/April book club selection—We Are Never Meeting in Real Life by Samantha Irby. We talk about Irby’s pull-no-punches writing style, her ability to put herself out there in her writing, and how we could turn some of our life experiences into essays of our own.



Show Notes

We don’t know if we could ever be as honest and raw as Samantha Irby is, but we respect her style.

We’ll definitely be borrowing some of Irby’s essay formats for writing exercises!

Our next book club selection and Tony nominated play is Slave Play by Jeremy O. Harris.

For more on writing, listen to our previous episode where we chat with fellow blogger and podcaster, Kattie Thorndyke.
