I enjoyed listening to this while cross stitching and doing stuff around the house.
I liked Wong’s first two comedy specials a lot, but am losing/have lost interest in her. I’m fine with bad language and graphic sexuality, but she often seems gratuitously crass. This book also didn’t age very well, in light of her recent-ish divorce. There is so much about her relationship with her husband that feels sad/ick knowing that the relationship ended.
In her 3rd comedy special, when she spoke about her divorce, I started to wonder if maybe she was the problem there and these thoughts arose during this book as well… the afterword written and read by her husband was so much more well written and genuine. From what she has said and his own writing, he seems so wonderful and she comes off as selfish and obnoxious…
