I've read one of Irby's books (and I cannot for the life of me remember which one off the top of my head) and kind of had a similar reaction. She has some funny stuff, but there are other things that left me shrugging. Generally speaking, I'm also realizing that personal essay collections that I really really connect with are very rare, so it may just be that it's not always a genre for me.

Even though you were only lukewarm on this one, the line about leg washing in the shower is maybe one of the best all time BoG lines.
