Dear Girls: Intimate Tales, Untold Secrets, & Advice for Living Your Best Life by Ali Wong

2.0

Ali Wong's humor just isn't my cup of tea. Clearly she is extremely successful, and a role-model in that she represents the Asian community in a space where there really isn't a whole lot of it. That's admirable, but not enough for me to support her unconditionally. Ultimately she is just a bit too foul-mouthed for my comfort, and downright kind of crass. I winced twice or thrice through the book when I remembered that it was actually "letters to [her] daughters". I would be mortified in their place to hear stories like that out of a parent's mouth.

I can see someone appreciating this book if they wildly appreciate her stand up specials/clips etc. But it's not for me, and not a book I recommend since, to me, there's really very little to gain from it, knowledge, or enjoyment-wise.
