Sorry I'm Late, I Didn't Want to Come Summary

Sorry I'm Late, I Didn't Want to Come: An Introvert's Year of Living Dangerously by Jessica Pan

'I loved it! It's such a wonderful title, and the book lives up to it' Nigella Lawson

CALLING ALL INTROVERTS: Step out of your comfort zone in the New Year with Jessica Pan's hilarious experiment in living life as an extrovert . . .

What would happen if a shy introvert lived as an out-and-out extrovert for one year? Jessica Pan is about 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?

A chronicle of Pan's hilarious and painful year of being an extrovert. * Stylist *
Absolutely bloody great. As a textbook, concrete, public changing, foghorn extrovert, I find Jessica Pan's descriptions of introversion and shyness fascinating and she is very funny. -- Nell Frizzell
Well, I adored this. Beautifully written, fascinating and so, so funny. Had me properly guffawing on the bus. -- Lauren Bravo
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. Pan is a gem, and her introvert's exploration of extroversion is all at once delightful and deftly rendered. -- Sara Barron
Relatable, moving, and fantastically funny. -- Rhik Samadder
Hilarious, unexpected and ultimately life-affirming.
Beautifully written and so funny! I related to it A LOT.
