This book caught my eye and I thought it would be a funny read. I think it was ok. A bit of it gets redundant and a bit cheesy, but still a fast read with some interesting points that lead to introspection.

n introvert spends a year trying to live like an extrovert with hilarious results and advice for readers along the way.

What would happen if a shy introvert lived like a gregarious extrovert for one year? If she knowingly and willingly put herself in perilous social situations that she’d normally avoid at all costs? Writer Jessica Pan intends to find out. With the help of various extrovert mentors, Jessica sets up a series of personal challenges (talk to strangers, perform stand-up comedy, host a dinner party, travel alone, make friends on the road, and much, much worse) to explore whether living like an extrovert can teach her lessons that might improve the quality of her life. Chronicling the author’s hilarious and painful year of misadventures, this book explores what happens when one introvert fights her natural tendencies, takes the plunge, and tries (and sometimes fails) to be a little bit braver.

Totally loved the book "Sorry I'm Late, I didn't Want to Come". As I am also an extreme introvert, It made me smile. But it also gave me thought to get out and make an effort. I must say, I do have an excuse for everything. In this day you can order weekly groceries online, food delivered, even restaurants and pharmacies. Amazon is a friend.
Love this book. I will be buying the paperback.

Thanks to NetGalley for the advance copy for review.

Thank you NetGalley for the ARC

As a somewhat introverted person, I related to this book on so many levels! I felt like Jessica Pan was a kindred spirit for me. I found myself nodding my head in agreement while reading the book and at some points (well most) saying to myself "Oh my god! Me too!"
This is a must read for all introverts and even extroverts because it is laughing out loud funny and also very relatedable!

As a fellow introvert, I can definitely relate to a lot of Jessica Pan's experiences. Pan had a goal of breaking out of her shell and enlisted the help and advice of some experts along the way. Her story is shared with lots of insight and plenty of humor. This book was a lot of fun to read and I learned a few things too.

Thanks to Andrews McMeel Publishing and NetGalley for the eARC in exchange for my honest review.

I knew I needed to read this book when I read this title. This book is written for those of us who secretly delight in the joy of canceled plans. Jessica Pan puts herself out there to explore life as an extrovert, and hilarity ensues.

This was a beautiful memoir that being an introvert myself I could relate to on many levels. I found it engaging and a good read. I would recommend it to fellow introverts.

I would like to thank Netgalley and the publisher for providing me with a copy free of charge. This is my honest and unbiased opinion of it.

3 stars.

As an introvert I thought that this would be right up my alley. And to some degree it was. I could relate to certain parts of it but there was still alot that made me realise just how much of an introvert I am as I felt that the people in these short stories were more outgoing than I am, so for that reason there was alot that didn't interest me or that I could relate to. Still it had parts that made me smile and it was quite well written. I really really like the name for this book. It's one of my favourite sayings. This collection of short stories I can see being a hit for alot of people. It's just unfortunately isn't for me so much but it's still a good read.

This book sounds great, but when I downloaded it I saw that it was strictly PDF and not MOBI.

I won't be able to review this unfortunately as I don't read PDF books.
