About I’m Judging You

In this hilarious book of essays, comedian, activist, and hugely popular culture blogger Luvvie Ajayi inspires us to good behavior, one sharp and funny side-eye at a time.

The go-to source for bracingly smart takes on pop culture at her enormously popular blog AwesomelyLuvvie.com, she has also become a bulwark of good humor and crucial common sense at what can seem a common sense-free time. I’m Judging You dissects our cultural obsessions and calls out bad behavior in our increasingly digital, connected lives. With a lighthearted, rapier wit and a unique perspective, it’s the handbook the world needs now, doling out the hard truths and a road map for bringing some “act right” to our popular culture, social media, and our lives.

Praise for I’m Judging You

This truth-riot of a book gives us everything from hilarious lectures on the bad behavior all around us to razor-sharp essays on social media and culture.

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 ….. Tough and tender.
