Other than the fact that Irby’s prose will make you laugh out loud, the compelling arc of Irby maturing, for better or for worse, has grown with each book. If you are a fan of “Bitches Gotta Eat”-the blog that started it all here in Chicago, or her two previous books, “Meaty” and “We Are Never Meeting in Real Life,” then you will not be disappointed. Not every book can make you laugh out loud, but her book does it easily, and with a self-deprecating flow that still reveals Irby as accepting the flow of her life outside the city in a Midwestern suburb with her wife and children. Samantha Irby’s third essay collection “Wow, No Thank You.” offers comic relief for all her readers, not just middle-aged women who assert their awkward hipness.
