Books by Jessi Klein
You'll grow out of it
You'll Grow Out of It hilariously and candidly explores the journey of the twenty-first-century woman through an incisive collection of real-life stories. Klein writes about her transformation from a Pippi Longstocking-esque tomboy to womanhood, including topics such as whether she might be a lesbian, attempting to find watchable porn, and the difference between being called "ma'am" and "miss."
