3.0
Admittedly, I didn’t know much of anything about Constance Wu before listening to her audiobook. I knew she was an actor and mother but that’s it. I’ve never watched Fresh Off the Boat or Crazy Rich Asians. I didn’t know anything about her “ungrateful” tweet (thank you google search) or about the SH she experienced at the hands of a producer; referred to only as M— .
To me, this felt more like a “let me tell you *my* side of the story” memoir; which is totally in her right to publish. I guess I just didn’t feel connected to her story becuase I am not familiar with her career.
In the end it was entertaining. some essays were sad and upsetting, others were cute and funny. I don’t regret borrowing it from the library. And I will definitely be adding FOTB and CRA to my watch list.
