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.
