I thought it was a good book. Books are a different medium than stand up and there were times where Ali struggled with the different medium. It was an enjoyable read.

This was cute. It's a little sad reading after she and her husband filed for divorce, but it's a very cute idea to leave something for your kiddos.

This book may be awkward to read if you’re actually a daughter of Ali Wong, but it packs some practical life lessons and wraps them up in a lot raunchy humour sprinkled with sincere support. I liked the touch of her husband adding and reading the afterword (the voice sounds very sexy).
