REVIEW - Sorry I'm Late, I Didn't Want to Come (audioBOOK)


 Sorry I'm Late, I Didn't Want to Come by Jessica Pan (audioBOOK)


OVERVIEW

This was a funny, tongue-in-cheek, and insightful memoir by an introvert. Jessica took a year to do things out of her comfort zone that an extrovert would do. She had quite the adventures and did things that I would never do as an ambivert and neither would my resident introvert in my family. 

I really enjoyed this memoir and it had me shaking with laughter. It may not be everyone's cup of tea, but it was mine!

TRIGGER ALERT: Foul language, drug use, and alcohol use


OVERALL REVIEW: 5.0 stars


Writing: 5.0 stars

The writing was so well done and it is apparent that Jessica has a master's in journalism major! Perfectly described, but still done with an appropriate utilization of words.

I am very confident that Jessica did not use a ghostwriter! 


Narration: 5.0  stars

Jessica narrates beautifully and really tells her story her way.


Character Arc: 5.0 stars

The audioBOOK is chronological showing her growth as a person and sometimes extrovert. 


Memorable:  5.0 stars

Oh, my the things that Jessica did! She did stand-up comedy three times, talking to random strangers, online friendship dating, networking, improvisational classes, deep talking to men, traveling alone to a foreign country, going to Portugal to use "magic mushrooms", and hosted her first dinner party. 

She really did a fantastic job getting out of her comfort zone! 


Entertaining:   5.0 stars

At times, Jessica was so funny that when I was listening to this audioBOOK in bed I was afraid I would wake up my husband.  


Book cover: 4.5 stars

Nice..        


Book title: 5.0 stars 

Hysterical!  


HIGHLY recommend
