"The Internet's newest comic phenom . . . . She has been hailed by
Bono and Shonda Rhimes for her singular voice and stinging
political commentary...You may not have heard her name yet. But you
probably will, because Luvvie Ajayi, a Nigerian-born "professional
shade thrower," as she calls herself, is offering incisive,
hilarious commentary on polarizing issues (race and gender in
particular), and she has found her audience."
--Judith Newman, The New York Times "This truth-riot of a book
gives us everything from hilarious lectures on the bad behavior all
around us to razor sharp essays on media and culture. With I'm
Judging You, Luvvie brilliantly puts the world on notice that she
is not here for your foolishness -- or mine."
--Shonda Rhimes, New York Times bestselling author of Year of Yes
and executive producer of Scandal and Grey's Anatomy "I don't know
how Luvvie Ajayi got so smart so young about so many things, from
feminism to social media, from the pervasiveness of rape culture to
the excellence of Red Lobster's Cheddar Bay Biscuits. I'm just
grateful she has chosen to share her wisdom with the rest of us in
this warm and witty book. The world is going to love it!"
--Jennifer Weiner, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Best
Friends Forever "You will love Luvvie Ajayi's I'm Judging You, and
you will argue with it, laugh hysterically at it, shout "AW HELL
YES" at it, and carry parts of it in your heart to dissect or
inspire...Perfect for starting important and meaty discussions
about all of the topics your mama told you never to bring up at
polite dinner parties...religion, race, relationships, reality tv.
Read the book. Have the discussions. You'll be better for it."
--Jenny Lawson, New York Times bestselling author of Furiously
Happy "I'm Judging You is whip-smart, take-no-prisoners
hilarious."
--ChicagoTribune "Humor writing at its best. . . . A truth serum
tempered with the bite of laugh."
--NBCBLK(NBC News) "Luvvie Ajayi calls out everybody on their bad
behavior . . . but she does it with such a light and funny touch
that you can't help but laugh even as you learn."
--Goodhousekeeping.com "Hilarious and perceptive."
--PopSugar "The ultimate handbook on the dos and don'ts of socially
navigating the digital era. Brilliantly witty and heartful."
--Redbook Magazine "Reflects Ajayi's spunky personality and
hilarious commentary."
--The Huffington Post "A smart, vividly humorous
handbook...Overall, [Ajayi's] "do-better" calls for us to reclaim
common sense, compassion, and critical thinking, in both personal
and online interactions. Astute and timely advice, wittily
presented."
--Booklist, starred review "By exposing the uncool, unwashed
underbelly of American society, Ajayi's essays force readers to
reconsider their stances on a variety of issues, including social
media and the public airing of everything, celebrities, sex tapes,
the various types of friendships one might have, feminism,
religion. Be prepared for some laughs, but also be prepared to
think and confront tougher issues."
--Kirkus
"Ajayi writes with humor and intelligence about a range of topics .
. . . Her honesty makes the book worth reading."
--Publishers Weekly "I could NOT stop laughing. Luvvie has a way of
tapping into the universal things that make us all suck at being
people. EVERY person needs to keep I'm Judging You on them at all
times just to avoid being terrible. I know I will."
--Issa Rae, author of The Misadventures of Awkward Black Girl "When
I heard Luvvie was writing a book, I knew the following things
would happen as surely as day follows night: I would read it, and I
would love it...Luvvie is correct about more things more often than
any single human woman has the right to be, and has the most
stylish and deft command of language this side of P.G. Wodehouse. I
like her immensely for it, and I wish I could read I'm Judging You
for the first time again. I have been chided by the best, and I
love it.
--Mallory Ortberg, bestselling author of Texts from Jane Eyre
"I'm Judging You is a brilliant, laugh-out-loud manual for the
generation that can configure a wireless router but still hasn't
realized social media is not the place for child support issues.
It's the tough and tender love letter everyone should be forced to
read before they take their first selfie."
--Angela Nissel, author of The Broke Diaries and Mixed
