funny

medium-paced
5.0
Recommended to me by a first gen Asian American woman in my life who reminds me a lot of the author in her energy and passion and talent for stringing together a masterfully constructed piece of writing. Everything about this felt carefully considered and well executed. Foo is so funny and so brutally honest and so good at what she does. She balances her own personal narrative with sharing her careful and detailed research and leaves the reader with a feeling of hope. I listened to this at work and cried through the entier wedding at the end. Good thing I was alone that day.
Graphic: Child abuse, Mental illness, Racism, and Suicidal thoughts
