We Were Dreamers: An Immigrant Superhero Origin Story by Simu Liu

5.0

Honestly, I was blown away by this book. Simu Liu outlines his childhood, struggles as a young professional, and his path toward living his dreams in a way that is both honest and moving. I was expecting a cheap “money grab”, selling your story as a book while your name is hot, but what I got was a thoughtful exploration of finding oneself against a backdrop of parental expectations. 

Simu Liu leans into his academic accolades, is an unashamed nerd and jock, and shows himself as a work in progress. 

In the words of a famous vegetable:
I laughed, I cried, it moved me Bob.
