Straight Up And Dirty
(Stephanie Klein)
Stephanie Klein, creator of the hugely popular blog Greek Tragedy, is Carrie Bradshaw for a younger generation. She?s loyal to her friends and her favorite cocktails and obsessed with, well, not shoes, but food. Straight Up & Dirty, Klein?s new memoir of how she lost and then found herself, reads like something Carrie might have written if she were ten years younger and had married a lying ?bastard? at the age of twenty-four.
Klein made her husband her ?wasband? after a nightmare episode of email snooping, during which she learned about his apparently platonic relationship with an older woman who took him to movie premiers, clubs, and a black-tie ?affair? for which he enlisted Klein?s help in choosing a tux and then texted his girlfriend from the dressing room. After her divorce, Klein started dating, looking for a better man or, better yet, as her phone therapist advised, ?a pair and a spare.? As she ?rodated? her way through Manhattan, she met some cute guys, but, as she points out, ?sparks can lead to fires, and then to fire escapes, where all you?ll want to do is flee the damn scene of your crimes.? Ultimately, she takes a break from dating to figure out who she is without a man.
The wickedly funny Klein tells the story of her ?prethirty predicament? with explicit, no-holds-barred honesty. She says of her ex, ?clearly, when I married him, I gave him the wrong finger? and shuts down a date who wants to see her softer side with, ?Wanna see mush? Pull up a chair and have a front seat gander at my ass.? Straight Up & Dirty is light reading that also satisfies.
