Everything's Trash, But It's Okay: Essays by Phoebe Robinson (English) Hardcover

Description: Everything's Trash, But It's Okay by Phoebe Robinson From 2 Dope Queen star Phoebe Robinson comes a hilarious and timely new essay collection on gender, race, dating, and trash. FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Wouldnt it be great if life came with an instruction manual? Of course, but like access to Michael B. Jordans house, none of us are getting any. Thankfully, Phoebe Robinson is ready to share everything shes experienced in hopes that if you can laugh at her topsy-turvy life, you can laugh at your own. Written in her trademark unfiltered and singularly witty style, Robinsons latest essay collection is a call to arms. She tackles a wide range of topics, such as giving feminism a tough love talk in hopes it can become more intersectional; telling societys beauty standards to kick rocks; and demanding that toxic masculinity close its mouth and legs (enough with the manspreading already!), and get out of the way so true progress can happen. Robinson also gets personal, exploring debt she has hidden from her parents, how dating is mainly a warmed-over bowl of hot mess, and maybe most importantly, meeting Bono not once, but twice. Shes struggled with being a woman with a political mind and a woman with an ever-changing jean size. She knows about trash not only because she sees it every day, but also because shes seen about one hundred thousand hours of reality TV and zero hours of Schindlers List. Everythings Trash, But Its Okay is a candid perspective for a generation that has had the rug pulled out from under it too many times to count, as well as an intimate conversation with a new best friend.
