She is currently working on her second book to come out through Simon & Schuster in early 2016.

"Hilarious" -The New York Times "Rising Purveyor of Ha-Ha" -The Washington Post "Honest pragmatism, with a twist." -Boston Globe "What [makes "I Seem Fun"] funny is Kirkman's inherent knack for cultivating conflict even talking into a microphone in a room by herself. Whether she's dissecting a negative iTunes review from an angry Christian or seriously considering a class action suit against Robin Thicke for being gross, Kirkman is eternally embattled but she tempers her cynicism with sweetness and, more often than not, she's right."
