I Might Regret This: Essays, Drawings, Vulnerabilities, and Other Stuff by Abbi Jacobson
4.0
I’m a bit biased because I love Broad City and therefore Abbi Jacobson, although I hadn’t realized how much I didn’t know about her before reading this.
These essays are certainly passionate, yet also impulsive. I think when people choose to write about their lives they accidentally fall into the trap to think that anything about oneself equals potential/endearing content. While the trick is to make one’s experiences readable—which I think Jacobson achieves, it’s like talking to a friend!—it’s also important to lead writing with a sense of purpose, which I found a bit hard to detect in some of these essays.
I don’t know if someone would pick this up or if I’d recommend this if they weren’t already a fan of Broad City or Abbi Jacobson, but if chosen by accident somehow, it wouldn’t be such bad luck
