"Robinson offers deft cultural criticism and hilarious personal anecdotes that will make readers laugh, cringe, and cry. Everything may indeed be trash but writing like this reminds us that we're gonna make it through all the terrible things with honesty, laughter, and faith." (Roxane Gay, New York Times best-selling author)

New York Times best-selling author and star of 2 Dope Queens Phoebe Robinson is back with a hilarious and timely essay collection on gender, race, dating, and the Dumpster fire that is our world.

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 100,000 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.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“[Everything’s Trash, but It’s Okay] is an irresistible mash-up of stream-of-consciousness venting and measured appraisals of everything from white feminism to Bono.” (Natalie Kitroeff, The New York Times)

“[Robinson’s] like your own approachably honest bestie - the kind you’d want riding shotgun on a cross-country road trip so that her sneakily incisive tangents could stretch and weave like so many highway miles… Even when she gets serious, doling out hard-won insights about money, body shaming or the challenges interracial couples face, Robinson keeps her wits about her.” (Washington Post)

"2 Dope Queens cohost and true badass Phoebe Robinson finds the funny in societal chaos in Everything's Trash, but It's Okay." (Cosmopolitan)

Excellent Listen!!

Be clear, Phoebe Robinson is just as funny via audiobook as she is in most arenas. This book has its laughs, but she offers some sage advice on being your best self in any situation. Loved the total life advice on finances. Lord knows my sistahs need it! Get this book. You will love yourself for it! One love...

Not So Guilty Pleasure

Why am I in love with Phoebe's relationship with #BritishBaekoff?

I wasn't super familiar with Robinson's other than seeing her in IBIZA so it took me a minute to settle into all of the <i>abbreves</i> as she she would say. I enjoyed the essays and sincerely appreciated how honest her chapter was on her history with financial hardship.

I would definitely listen again!

have your smart, hilarious bestie to yourself

This was a treat to listen to. Phoebe is the embodiment of the smart, hilarious, go-getter self made gal-pals out there making an impact while remaining true to themselves. She can laugh at herself and make you laugh at yourself!

Amazing book!

I was hooked on listening to it! So fun and encouraging. It's a must have.

Hilariously honest and clever!

Phoebe Robinson is witty, funny, and captivating. Listening to her book was like listening to a comedy special. I highly recommend reading/listening to anything she creates.

Queen of analogies!

This book is delicious. Go ahead and enjoy it. If you’re not a fan yet, Phoebe’s writing will take you through many wormholes of wonderfully specific analogies and back, to on-point cultural criticism and fun anecdotes from a fascinating life in comedy. If you’re already a fan, I loved this book as much or more than her first. Five star comedian, five star book.

Funny!

Funny telling of the life lessens she’s experienced. Phoebe invoked laughter as she performed her story.

Normal Phoebe x4

I love Phoebe, but if I didn't know her outside of this book, I probably would have been lost for a lot of it. Phoebs is a lottle all over the place in her comedy, so if you enjoy that, then brace yourself for 4x the normal Phoebe!

Incredible

Phoebe Robinson shares her stories in a way that intertwines serious topics, personal anecdotes, and her unique style of comedy. I cannot recommend this book enough. I laughed out loud in public places repeatedly while listening to this book with headphones!

Love it!!!

This book is so much fun. She is giving you 2017/2028 realness. Get into it.....#lol #btw # sheready.
