4/16/21 review:
What difference a decade makes. Perpetuates the model minority myth, which makes sense because she upholds some sexist, establishment conservative guys. Between how her husband uses his power and her advice to women who want to clerk for a certain justice, it leaves a bad taste in my mouth. A memoir from an talented but unreliable writer.
Original review:
This book is a funny and wonderful memoir. I think she did a good job of parenting even as she had to be strict. Her family is upper-middle class, but she didn't want them to be entitled and spoiled and decided to be a strict parent.
Most people only talk about how strict she was, but when her daughters were older she relented. I also loved the stories of her mother-in-law and sister and how their experiences also led her to examine her parenting style.
