snowbenton 's review for:

You'll Grow Out of It by Jessi Klein

DID NOT FINISH

---

I couldn't finish this. I gave up at 50%. I listened to the audiobook, narrated by Klein herself, and I'm really not sure if it was her terrible personality or her ingratiating poor-me voice but this book was painful. The most entertaining part of this whole ordeal was deciding what I hated most about Klein. Was it the fact that she's married to a man-child who at 40 years old told her he was going to propose, then he wasn't ready, nope still not ready? Was it the fact that she pays $150 an hour to listen to her therapist talk about her life so Klein doesn't have a chance to speak? Was it the fact that she is too lazy to keep up with barre classes so she has to tell us how great her butt looked while she was doing them and then disdain the whole business so she doesn't have to feel bad about not going? Is it the fact that she has an entire chapter devoted to how all women fall into one of two categories, Wolves or Poodles?

This was the most woman-hating, self-involved, irritating book I've encountered in a long time.
