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

of We Are Never Meeting in Real Life and Meaty
