DON’T MISS PHOEBE ROBINSON’S COMEDY SERIES EVERYTHING’S TRASH—NOW ON FREEFORM!New York Times bestselling author and star of 2 Dope Queens Phoebe Robinson is back with a new, hilarious, and timely essay collection on gender, race, dating, and the dumpster fire that is our world.Wouldn't it be great if life came with instructions? Of course, but like access to Michael B. Jordan's house, none of us are getting any. Thankfully, Phoebe Robinson is ready to share everything she has experienced to prove that if you can laugh at her topsy-turvy life, you can laugh at your own.Written in her trademark unfiltered and witty style, Robinson's latest collection is a call to arms. Outfitted with on-point pop culture references, these essays tackle a wide range of topics: giving feminism a tough-love talk on intersectionality, telling society's beauty standards to kick rocks, and calling foul on our culture's obsession with work. Robinson also gets personal, exploring money problems she's hidden from her parents, how dating is mainly a warmed-over bowl of hot mess, and definitely most important, meeting Bono not once, but twice. She's struggled with being a woman with a political mind and a woman with an ever-changing jeans size. She knows about trash because she sees it every day--and because she's seen roughly one hundred thousand hours of reality TV and zero hours of Schindler's List.With the intimate voice of a new best friend, Everything's Trash, But It's Okay is a candid perspective for a generation that has had the rug pulled out from under it too many times to count.

"I haven’t listened to 2DopeQueens yet but I have been thinking about it. Phoebe is hilarious and amazing. I loved her story about meeting #greatbritishbakeoff and her run ins with “Bon bon” Bono from U2 I love this book it’s been a few months since I’ve read the first one so I missed the shorthand that she uses. It’s so quirky. My favorite essay was “Feminism: I was rooting for you; we were all rooting for you” because it pinpoints the issue with mainstream feminism and how it isn’t intersectional. It is such an interesting essay!!"
"@christian_coleman_8081 i really liked it. I love her sense of humor and it definitely shows in her writing and had me laughing. It was a well written book and it was one of those books I couldn't put down. It was everything I wanted it to be - being a fan of her podcast. I would definitely recommend it. "
