**From the co-creator and co-star of the hit series Broad City, a
"poignant, funny, and beautifully unabashed" (Cheryl Strayed) New York
Times bestselling essay collection about love, loss, work, comedy, and
figuring out who you really are when you thought you already knew.
**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--readers will feel like they're in the
passenger seat on a fun and, ultimately, inspiring journey. With some
original illustrations by the author.
