About this listen
Entertainment Weekly, "Fall's 20 Must-Reads" (2018)
Essence, "Fall 2018 Guide to All Things Funny"
Bustle, "18 New Nonfiction Books to Know in October 2018"
"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.

“[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)

This book gets a resounding yes from me, if you liked ‘You Can’t Touch My Hair’ you will love this.
First of all let me say I think Pheobe should narrate everything, literally anything that is listened to should come from her vocal cords. The colloquial quippy way that the book is written in and of itself makes for a fun and easy read but Pheobe’s little giggles and laughs (which low key, high key remind me of @majimb.o who’s giggle alone makes you laugh) elevates the listening experience. I felt like a good friend who was a great story teller was telling me stories while I worked out, cycled down the beach, had my lunch and before I went to bed.
Pheobe comes for Feminism the way Tyra came for Tiffany yelling “...WE WERE ALL ROOTING FOR YOU!” And takes a quick moment to give the liberal feminists a plethora of hot tips.
She constantly tackles very difficult and complex topics and manages to effectively lighten the mood with her random abbreviations and comedic skill but when necessary and for valid reason has moments where she chooses not to do that.
I had noted that the story where someone 👀 buys her flowers on international women’s days was my fave story until I got to to the Addendum.
She gave us an amazing audiobook and then she made a tiny brilliant podcast baby with British Bake Off and gave that to us.
Everything is trash except this book lol
