Title: I Might Regret This Pdf Essays, Drawings, Vulnerabilities, and Other Stuff
From the cocreator and costar 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 - listeners will feel like they're in the passenger seat on a fun and ultimately inspiring journey. With some original illustrations by the author.

A lively, sad, incredibly funny road trip with a special lady I’m still vibrating from the rush of impressions shared by this clever, likable improv artist as she drives an erratic route from NY to LA. She’s escaping major ghosts: a creative production that’s run its course, and a relationship that she wasn’t ready to leave, and that left her heartbroken. Clearly, the woman who left her did a major number on her. Along the way she opens her heart...and her quirky, endearing self to the reader. We hear of privileged childhood and her wistfulness about being Jewish; her deadly serious creative drive and an obsessive rapport with her female colleague; opinions on the uselessness of saucers at a quaint B&B; the quality of snacks the major networks offer guest performers; and a spiritual experience in kitschy Sedona that takes her by surprise. Her clever little drawings are ironic and sweet - they seem to say”I’m just a sketch, but I’m hurting-don’t worry about me, though,,,”I loved this book! This book was a peek inside Abbi Jacobson's heart and mind, I think. I almost felt like I was reading her diary and getting to know her on some level. I read the book in two days. I'm sad I finished it, but glad to have read it for sure.Interesting read and story - but is it memoir worthy? First, I'm a big fan of Abbi Jacobson's work, both on Broad City, and also her illustrations and podcast on art history. She's refreshingly down-to-earth, and relatable - and that comes through in this book. She has a great sense of humor, and her issues with anxiety, adulthood and finding herself are both poignant and relatable. The illustrations she adds to the books also add a level of personality rarely seen in other memoirs.My only complaint as I read this book was asking myself - is this story really worthy of a memoir? Like - really?The author is in her early thirties, and while she's had a unique experience of rising to fame from humble beginnings, I didn't feel while reading this that it was a story with enough wisdom or interest to really warrant a memoir. Also, the author admits to pitching the idea of going on the titular road trip for the purpose of writing about it. So - how authentic can this story be - a manufactured experience of a roadtrip where you need to find a story arc to suit your destinations? I dunno, I wanted to love this, and it was OK for reading on a plane - but overall it was a bit underwhelming.
