Paperback Launch: I Might Regret This by Abbi Jacobson in conversation with Ariel Levy

It’s no surprise that Abbi Jacobson’s unique and hilarious voice jumps off the page in I MIGHT REGRET THIS, but what sets this collection of essays apart is how incredibly vulnerable and honest it is. Shortly after having her heart broken for the first time, Abbi 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 from New York 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. Featuring original illustrations from the author, I MIGHT REGRET THIS is a hilarious and poignant collection of essays about love, loss, work, comedy, and figuring out who you really are when you thought you already knew.
