As a textbook, concrete, public changing, foghorn extrovert, I find Jessica Pan’s descriptions of introversion and shyness fascinating and she is very funny.Well, I adored this. Beautifully written, fascinating and so, so funny. Had me properly guffawing on the bus.Sorry I’m Late, I Didn’t Want to Come achieves what so many books claim (but then frankly fail) to do: making you laugh, while at the same time managing to inspire.

I related to it A LOT.
