Read it read it read it. Jessi Klein is the voice in the back of my head, but actually funny.
Quick, relatable read - I liked the latter half of the essays better. Yea for pumping and dumping at the Emmy's! haha.

Definitely had me laughing. I was more into it in the beginning but overall a funny read and a good break from my go-tos

The first couple chapters felt like a kind of bait-and-switch; it seemed like the book was gonna be about how her “Tom-man”ishness was something she did not, in fact, Grow Out Of. Most of it is not. She apparently did grow out of it. I laughed some, and it was good-ish, but I didn’t love the middle chapters. 2.5
I picked up Jessi’s new book in November and knew I had to also get my hands on this one. Her writing is funny and engaging. While I may not relate to ALL of her essays, I certainly enjoyed them all. If you haven’t read this yet (especially if you have ever given birth), you have to read this for the chapter on the Emmys. Loved this book ❤️
If you've ever felt like you've been stuck in an awkward phase for your entire life (me), this book/autobiography is perfect for you (me)

Reading this made me feel a tiny bit better about my existence and I think that's exactly what Jessi Klein wanted.

For me, the author was trying too hard to be funny. Not my kind of humor.

Made me laugh out loud at numerous points. Reminiscent of Tina Fey's Bossypants. I really liked that it didn't have the reiteration of pop culture references/essays found in other comedy memoirs, which tend to bore me. Highly recommend.
