Summary
Random House presents the audiobook edition of Sorry I'm Late, I Didn't Want to Come written by Jessica Pan.
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? Jessica Pan is going to find out.
When she found herself jobless and friendless, sitting in the familiar Jess-shaped crease on her sofa, she couldn't help but wonder what life might have looked like if she had been a little more open to new experiences and new people, a little less attached to going home instead of going to the pub.
So, she made a vow: to push herself to live the life of an extrovert for a year. She wrote a list: improv, a solo holiday and... talking to strangers on the tube. She regretted it instantly.
Sorry I'm Late, I Didn't Want to Come follows Jess's hilarious and painful year of misadventures in extroverting, reporting back from the frontlines for all the introverts out there.
But is life actually better or easier for the extroverts? Or is it the nightmare Jess always thought it would be?

Brave, funny, moving
I loved this book and the narration by the author is excellent. It’s about living life in a potentially lonely world, it’s about vulnerability and being brave.
It’s funny, warm and just brilliant. Everyone should read it!

Surprisingly good adventute
I loved the tone of the book and all the adventures in it. Strongly suggested either you are in your bad mood or your good mood. A relaxing and funny experience even if you are not an introvert.

First half was great
First half was great. Really interesting and funny. Second half was quite waffley and I got bored. I could relate to a lot of things in the book, like trying BFF. It’s definitely worth listening to.

Loved it!
Discovered Jessica via her Substack and I absolutely love her writing style. I hope there’s more to come! I’m an extrovert but still loved it and wish I have a friend close by like Jessica (as I’m British American and have friends globally).

Loved it
I rarely write reviews but in this case I feel compelled to as I enjoyed the book so much. I found the authors anecdotes hilarious and I’m really inspired by her willingness to face her fears and laugh at the inevitable trips and falls she makes along the way. She comes across as very authentic and warm. She owns many of her vulnerabilities which makes me feel connected to her, like a friend I’ve never met. As a fellow shy introvert (“shintrovert”) myself I’m inspired to follow her lead in “extroverting” and see where it takes me. Very well read in the audible version as well.

Truly inspiring story!
Very relatable and funny! Jess' courage to overcome her introversion have really inspired me to do the same. Although I won't be doing stand up comedy anytime soon!

Relatable
An enjoyable easy read. Relatable and funny if you're also a bit of an introvert.
