You'll Grow Out of It

You'll Grow Out of It by Jessi Klein    291 pages

This collection of stories by comedian Jessi Klein take you through her childhood into adulthood (although not always completely in time-line order).  She offers a funny but sometimes touching account on a variety of topics, including 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).

I had this book on my TBR list and picked it up when I had a book fail earlier this week.  I didn't know anything about Jessi Klein, but that didn't stop this from being an enjoyable read.  I admit that I did laugh out loud several times, and at one point, reading before bed, had to put the book down because I was laughing too hard.  I may have just been over-tired.  I don't know if I'll pick this up for a re-read, but I enjoyed it this time around.
