I obviously don't like kids, so the entire premise of the book was a bit meh for me 😬 but I did think it made for good structure for the book that was a lot more interesting and engaging than a chronological detailing of her life. I did also like the bit from her husband at the end, although that also felt a little weird? Almost like he had to defend her and their relationship? Also there was one relatively lengthy section in which there was waaaaay too much discussion about all the ways children are disgusting.

The author was witty and funny - she is a comedian after all. I'm not a fan of vulgar comedy but I liked how unapologetic she was about being a foul-mouthed, Asian-American woman. Takes alot of guts to be a comedian, tank a show and still continue to do it. Thats perseverence. Interspersed with a bit of wisdom, and a letter from the girls father, it takes lots of courage, sacrifice and understanding from both Ali and her husband to live the way they choose to live. While I wouldn't write anything like this to my daughters, its good to be open about the realities of life. Kudos to the author for being forthright about her experiences
