This is an interesting mix of memoir, short stories, essays and thoughts from Abbi Jacobson. When I was pitched this book, I didn't know anything about the author and I just thought this was a fun road trip memoir. I was correct, but it was so much more with her interesting perspective working in many ways on a tv show, so this was also one of my favorite things - a behind the scenes of Hollywood life or in her case tv in New York life.

Abbi Jacobson along with friend Ilana Glazer created a web series that after hard work and determination ended up on tv. After four seasons, she is heading to Hollywood after a breakup and decides a single road trip may help heal her mind and soul. I loved the different ways she wrote in this book. Her sleepless nights and what went through her mind made me literally laugh out loud. I loved reading her journey and seeing how getting out of her comfort zone helped her to grow.

I would love to read more books like this from different levels of celebrities.

Confession time: I haven't watched Broad City (although it's been on my radar and I do want to watch; I'll probably binge pretty soon) and I accepted a pitch for this because Cheryl Strayed blurbed the cover. (And because I tend to love memoirs by funny women, regardless of my familiarity with their work.)

I said that to say this: I am now a huge fan of Abbi Jacobson. This book is as funny as you'd expect (maybe even funnier; suffice to say it's a fantastic read) but she's also incredibly honest. I'm not sure I've ever related to a stranger as much as I've related to her in this.

(Her sleep study chapters, you guys. I feel like if you've ever had any problems sleeping, you'll know where this is coming from.)

I expected to enjoy this book and I expected it to make me even more excited to watch Broad City. I didn't expect to completely love it and read it in a day.

Highly recommended.
