Making a Scene by Constance Wu

emotional informative lighthearted fast-paced

3.5

This book was nothing at all what I anticipated. That being said, its definitely a very raw read. Wu addresses her issues she faced becoming an actress, & her issues with her relationships later in life. A little dry at times, but still pretty good.

Admittedly, I didn’t know much of anything about Constance Wu before listening to her audiobook. I knew she was an actor and mother but that’s it. I’ve never watched Fresh Off the Boat or Crazy Rich Asians. I didn’t know anything about her “ungrateful” tweet (thank you google search) or about the SH she experienced at the hands of a producer; referred to only as M— . 

To me, this felt more like a “let me tell you *my* side of the story” memoir; which is totally in her right to publish. I guess I just didn’t feel connected to her story becuase I am not familiar with her career.

In the end it was entertaining. some essays were sad and upsetting, others were cute and funny. I don’t regret borrowing it from the library. And I will definitely be adding FOTB and CRA to my watch list.

An interesting insight into Constance Wu's life from childhood to the recent horrific bullying that lead to her abandoning social media and almost cost her her life.
