"YOU'LL GROW OUT OF IT hilariously, and candidly, explores the journey of the twenty-first century woman. As both a tomboy and a late bloomer, comedian Jessi Klein grew up feeling more like an outsider than a participant in the rites of modern femininity. In YOU'LL GROW OUT OF IT, Klein offers-through an incisive collection of real-life stories-a relentlessly funny yet poignant take on a variety of topics she has experienced along her strange journey to womanhood and beyond. These include her "transformation from Pippi Longstocking-esque tomboy to are-you-a-lesbian-or-what tom man," attempting to find watchable porn, and identifying the difference between being called "ma'am" and "miss" ("Miss sounds like you weigh ninety-nine pounds"). Raw, relatable, and consistently hilarious, YOU'LL GROW OUT OF IT is a one-of-a-kind book by a singular and irresistible comic voice"-- Provided by publisher.

You'll Grow Out of It submitted by pamhockey25 on August 28, 2016, 5:21am Well written and funny. She talks about her early life and growing up as a tomboy and becoming somewhat of a tom man. She discusses various relationships and what went wrong with them as well as what went right with her husband. We learn the difference between Poodles and Wolves (she is talking about ladies, not the actual animals) as well as the difference between being called Ma'am or Miss (and man there is a HUGE difference). We also see a little about her career and what pushed her to do what she loves. She spans quite a time period, including the birth of her son.

Even if you don't know who Jessi is, and I didn't, the book is a good read.

bad book submitted by Zaneeba on June 26, 2019, 7:56am this was a bad read and a waist of time

Very entertaining submitted by wendylv on August 30, 2019, 7:16am I think I've enjoyed Jessi Klein's writing in shows like Best Week Ever, SNL, and Inside Amy Schumer before I knew who she was. This book was a great summer read that I zipped through and laughed out loud on every page. The story of her career is inspiring as she had to get her father's voice out of her head and finally find the courage to pursue her dream of comedy writing.
