You'll Grow Out of It
by Jessi Klein
Why read it
This is a hilarious, sharp, and deeply honest collection of autobiographical essays from the Emmy Award-winning comedy writer and stand-up comic. It is an outstanding pick if you love self-deprecating humor that feels like having a glass of wine with your funniest, most down-to-earth friend. Klein brilliantly deconstructs the bizarre social codes, unrealistic standards, and quiet insecurities of modern womanhood.
Where to get it
Since you prefer to listen, you can find the audiobook on platforms active in the Netherlands like Audible, Kobo Plus, and Google Play Books. It is narrated by the author herself, Jessi Klein, whose dry comic timing brings her stories to life. For alternative formats, you can purchase the English ebook or paperback on Bol.com or Amazon.nl, or search the digital collection of the Dutch public library system (de Bibliotheek) via OverDrive.
What to expect
Expect a warm, incredibly candid, and fast-paced collection of short essays. The tone is delightfully irreverent and accessible, though it shifts easily into moving, poignant reflections on topics like fertility and aging. It is an easy, highly entertaining listen with mild mature themes surrounding sex, dating, and body image.
