Klein writes in ‘girlfriends around the table’ relatable. Natural narration that makes the reader forget the New York native’s not sitting in front of them, sharing mother-in-law horror stories and mouth watering metaphors. (She’s all about ’emotion as food’ …because isn’t it just?)<\/p>\n
Readers will laugh and cry. Love and hate. They’ll connect with Klein; and they’ll connect with her life. <\/p>\n
Cosmopolitan, but not in your face. Not chick lit. But chick litters will love it. I found “Straight Up and Dirty”<\/a> in the Self Help Section. By the end of it, I understood why. <\/p>\n Straight Up is about relationships; but it’s about more than that. It’s a reassessment. It’s a wake up call. It’s a ‘stop relying on other people for happiness’…and Do<\/em> today. Because you can<\/em>. <\/p>\n Stephanie Klein’s memoir reminded me of all the things I want to accomplish, and why. It’s poetic motivation and I loved it.<\/p>\n Klein writes in ‘girlfriends around the table’ relatable.
