Story
In this fascinating narrative, therapist Catherine Gildiner presents five of what she calls her most heroic and memorable patients. Among them: A successful, first-generation Chinese immigrant musician suffering sexual dysfunction; a young woman whose father abandoned her at age nine with her younger siblings in an isolated cottage in the depth of winter; and a glamorous workaholic whose narcissistic, negligent mother greeted her each morning of her childhood with "Good morning, Monster". Each patient presents a mystery, one that will only be unpacked over years.

One of those books you can’t stop listening to. The only minor critique I have is the narrator’s voice interpretations of the clients, it was distracting at times.

Best Bridget Jones Book

I've listened to this book more times than I care to admit. Bridget is always a loveable character and the narrator is perfect. I also have a strange and confusing crush on Rockster that I should probably talk to someone about....

Story
In You'll Grow Out of It, Jessi Klein offers - through an incisive collection of real-life stories - a relentlessly funny yet poignant take on a variety of topics she has experienced along her strange journey to womanhood and beyond. These include her "transformation from Pippi Longstocking-esque tomboy to are-you-a-lesbian-or-what tom man", attempting to find watchable porn, and identifying the difference between being called "ma'am" and "miss" (" miss sounds like you weigh 99 pounds").

I've listened to a bunch of memoirs and this one is hands down the best. Jessi is funny, smart, and honest. I've listened to it at least four times.

If You Like MFM You'll Love This Book

in true Karen fashion I was a little hesitant to listen to this book right away; I've had quite a few books written by comedians that I love that just end up being disappointing. This book is great, it doesn't sound like they are trying to write in a voice that isn't theirs and it's honest and funny.
