The audiobook version is the superior version. Lieu's reading of her memoir was so animated and emotional. I don't think I would have liked it as much if I'd only read the print book because then I wouldn't have heard all the imitations she does of the elders.

I related to this book so much, also being a child of Chinese/Vietnamese immigrants in the 90s. This brutally honest memoir was hard to listen to sometimes because of the cringe factor (like the Cult chapters), but I still went through it quickly. My entire family, including my kid were riveted.
