You'll Grow Out of It by Jessi Klein

I have no idea why You'll Grow Out of It by Jessie Klein made it into my "to read" queue.  I don't know who she is, but I do enjoy a good autobiography.  However, this one did not impress me much.  She's a stand up comedian but it really wasn't that funny.  She spent most of the book telling about all the stupid things she has done in her life.  I'm not sure she considered all of them stupid though.  She often prefaced something with "I'm embarrassed to say."  I just don't relate to people like her.  She's a woman who doesn't have a lot of self-esteem and just does things that I consider dumb because of it.  I will say that the end kind of saved her a little.  The parts where she talked about her problems getting pregnant made me feel like maybe she had matured and learned her lessons from all the stupid stuff and hopefully improved her feelings of self worth.  She felt more like someone I could ALMOST hang out with.  I still don't relate to the self pity banana pudding, but the fertility issues I relate to.  Overall, the book was just.... meh.  I give it a 2 out of 5 stars.
