A review by siobhanward
Making a Scene by Constance Wu

reflective slow-paced

2.0

I found this book to be disappointing. Maybe Wu wrote it too early in her career. Maybe it was hard to write because the one major acting job she'd had before writing the book sounded really challenging. I don't know, but this was less a memoir of her time as an actress and was weirdly more of an account of her love life? I don't know - some stories were solid and helped me to understand why Wu is who she is (the last chapter about her mother, in particular, was great), but the majority of the book felt like it was an account of her boyfriends, her sex life and why she's not like other girls. It really just didn't resonate with me and I couldn't figure out what Wu was trying to do with this book.
