Book 26 of my 2022 Reading Challenge
I'll Show Myself Out: Essays on Midlife and Motherhood
by Jessi Klein
4 stars
Published in 2022, I'll Show Myself Out is a collection of essays about motherhood, aging, and identity by Jessi Klein.
This book isn't for everyone but if you're the audience for this book you will feel seen. The first essay was a doozy and it just continued from there. If this wasn't a library book and if I was the kind of person that felt comfortable writing in margins, this book would be highlighted and emphasized in multiple places.
Quote from the Book
"A mother's heroic journey is not about how she leaves, but about how she stays."
