Reading this felt like I had received a personal correspondence from a friend on a road trip, complete with random lists and funky doodles. Abbi Jacobson, spurred by heartbreak, chronicles her journey with such impish charm that even her grievances won me over. I want to be next to her in the passenger seat as she drives, laughing at her unique wit, and calming her incredibly relatable anxieties.Publisher's Description:
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.
