4.0

Funny and raunchy, Ali talks about sex, marriage, growing up in America as a Vietnamese/Chinese kid, her family, and being a stand up comedian with kids. Seriously blunt and honest about her life, warts and all.

My least favorite part about this book was how it was written as a letter to her daughters. I found it really awkward when she kept talking about you and referring to her husband as "Daddy." I appreciate parts of her humor and I definitely find some of it gratuitous and like she's trying too hard to be edgy and gross.

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).
