Sorry I’m Late I Didn’t Want to Come is a how to manual for the ages.
Like many, Jessica Pan is a self-professed introvert. She would rather stay home in her comfort cocoon than be around people, going to parties, or being the center of attention. Sorry, I’m Late I Didn’t Want to Come is the story of Jessica and the year she pledged to break out of her shell and take life by the horns. I must admit the older I get; the more introverted I’m becoming. Gone are the days when I would get up and sing karaoke for hours on end, or go to random get together to meet new people and try new things. I applaud Jessica for acknowledging the problem (even though an introvert doesn’t think their behavior is a problem) and deciding she was going to do something about it.
This book reminded me a lot of Year of Yes by Shonda Rhimes (that’s an excellent book to check out). Both ladies we brave enough to only to change their ways albeit only temporarily, but they wrote about it for others to see. That takes guts. I appreciated this book, and I feel as though it helped me feel as if I’m not the only one that struggles with their feelings. I will use this book for reference in the future when I have a “moment.”
Thank you Netgalley and Doubleday Publishing for the ARC copy in exchange for my honest review.
