Description
Book SynopsisWhat it takes to be a 21st century woman.
Trade ReviewJessi Klein is
a brilliant comedic mind and this book is a perfect reflection of that. It's
like having a glass of wine with the best friend you wish you had. * Amy Schumer *
Her writing is
equal parts funny, strange and poetic. Think
Miranda July meets Tina Fey * The Pool *
Hilarious... In these 24 short pieces, her
irreverent and inventive brand of humor almost seamlessly transfers to essay form.
Riffs on dating, aging, marriage, infertility and childbirth have the zing-and-run rhythm of sketch comedy, but structured for the page... These pieces often have a let-me-level-with-you directness
reminiscent of Ephron without being too imitative... One of the higher echelons of praise for confessional essays is that they mimic the experience of listening to your best friend.
Klein's read as if you're texting with her and have been for your whole life. * New York Times *
Klein shares her eccentric path to adulthood, from her tomboyish girlhood to sidesplitting dating tales and beyond in this
uproarious,
relatable, and
irresistible memoir. * Harper's Bazaar *
[Jessi Klein's]
astute,
hilarious essays about the perilous path to modern womanhood
will have you wincing in recognition. * People *
You'll Grow Out Of It does an amazing job making me understand what my life might be like if I were a woman. Or if I were Jessi Klein.
I laughed. Lots. Not at what it's like to be a woman! That would be sexist. I laughed at the parts that you're supposed to. Which are plentiful. Because Jessi Klein is
truly really funny. * Ira Glass *
