Back in June, Rae spoke about what led her to put in writing the e-book.
“This collection is part confession, part reflection and part ‘here’s what I wish I’d known,’” Rae told PEOPLE. “But mostly it’s just me being honest about the weird, wonderful journey from having big dreams to making them a reality.”
“From dreaming of briefcases as a child to running her own media empire, Issa’s creative evolution is both hilarious and inspiring,” writer Julia Sommerfeld added. “These essays capture her remarkable journey with the wit, wisdom and real talk that has made millions of people feel seen.”
I Should be Smarter Now will probably be obtainable for buy on Tuesday, Aug. 26 and is offered for preorder now.
