Summary

"YOU'LL GROW OUT OF IT 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'"--
