Nonfiction audio - memoir, humor (~7 hrs, read by the author) stand up comedian and comedy writer relates humorous stories of growing up a tomboy, getting into stand up comedy, relationships and marriage, health scares/visits to various doctors, including multiple painful ones to fertility specialists, drunk dancing with Dale the Chipmunk, etc. Starts off, while it is discussing a sort of feminist philosophy of life (similar to that reflected in her co-created Amy Shumer show) as absurdly funny, and full of insights into the ways, major and minor, that the world treats women of varying levels of prettiness and talent. As it gets a bit deeper into the book, turns more essay-based, and its topics become a bit more upscale and picayune, then it loses much of its momentum. But I would recommend the first third of the book as nearly crucial reading for anybody. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

HTML:From Emmy award-winning comedy writer Jessi Klein, You'll Grow Out of It hilariously and candidly explores the journey of the 21st-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 99 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. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

1. Laugh out loud funny at times. This positive is enough to make it all worth while for me, but I'll go on.
2. Dividing women into wolves and poodles is a fun game.
3. It gets very personal. She really goes for it with intimate details of her life.
The negatives:
1. She doesn't really know how to end her essays. They just stop.
2. She obviously has a pretty baller life, but talks about it like it's normal. It's in the service of humor most of the time, so I suppose it's forgivable. But it's still irritating. For example, she makes a joke about hiding in your shoe closet. Um, how many people have freaking closets for just their shoes? Jessi Klein and Carrie Bradshaw.
3. Personally, I kind of hated the essay about getting an epidural. She's trying to say that women should not feel pressure when making birth choices. And then she piles on the pressure to get an epidural. Duhr. ( )
