Sorry I'm Late, I Didn't Want to Come: One Introvert's Year of Saying Yes by Jessica Pan
5.0
Funny and inspiring.
Jessica challenges herself to be more extroverted for a year, seeking to expand her social circle and have new experiences. One of her earliest challenges involves asking people in England who the queen of England is, to get over her fear of talking to people in public. Though she gets differing answers, she does this successfully.
"Sure, now I had to have serious doubts about the average British person's grasp of history and/or current affairs, but me? I'm fine. Better than fine. I am downright giddy after transversing that near-death exercise. I practically skip home, kicking leaves up in the air with joy.
Some people say there is no such thing as a stupid question, but by asking the stupidest of questions, I had finally faced my fear of talking to random strangers."
She partakes in many more challenges throughout the year and writes about all of these insightfully and humorously. Enjoyable book.
