I Might Regret This: Essays, Drawings, Vulnerabilities and Other Stuff

by Abbi Jacobson (Author), Abbi Jacobson (Author), Abbi Jacobson (Author)

Synopsis

From the co-creator and co-star of the hit series Broad City, a hilarious and poignant collection about love, loss, work, comedy and figuring out who you really are when you thought you already knew.

When Abbi Jacobson announced to friends and acquaintances that she planned to drive across the country alone, she was met with lots of questions and opinions: Why wasn't she going with friends? Wouldn't it be incredibly lonely? The North route is better! Was it safe for a woman? The Southern route is the way to go! You should bring mace! And a common one . . . why? But Abbi had always found comfort in solitude, and needed space to step back and hit the reset button. As she spent time in each city and town on her way to Los Angeles, she mulled over the big questions - What do I really want? What is the worst possible scenario in which I could run into my ex? How has the decision to wear my shirts tucked in been pivotal in my adulthood? In this collection of anecdotes, observations and reflections - all told in the sharp, wildly funny and relatable voice that has endeared Abbi to critics and fans alike - readers will feel like they're in the passenger seat on a fun and, ultimately, inspiring journey. With some original illustrations by the author.

Media Reviews
Poignant, funny and beautifully unabashed, I Might Regret This takes readers on both a cross-the-country adventure and a deep dive into Abbi Jacobson's gigantic heart -- Cheryl Strayed
As a passionate fan of Abbi Jacobson's comedy, it was no surprise to me that this book is hilarious, peculiar and very smart. But I was unprepared for the courage she shows in making herself vulnerable on these pages: Jacobson cracks herself open and explores love and loneliness, travel and independence, success and self-loathing. I wish I hadn't finished reading this . . . I miss her already -- Ariel Levy, New York Times-bestselling author of The Rules Do Not Apply
Intimate and brave in a way her audience has yet to experience, I Might Regret This is a funny, vulnerable, generous and excruciatingly honest look at the beautiful heart that beats inside Abbi Jacobson -- Samantha Irby, New York Times bestselling author of We Are Never Meeting in Real Life and Meaty
