This is the first book I finished all the way through... with my ears.
And I loved it! Constance Wu shined with the narration of the book, and I swear I could hear her tear up during a certain part. It felt so authentic and unapologetically her.
The one thing I'd tell anyone before reading is that this book is not put in chronological order, and is quite literally a collection of essays. One moment there's an extremely candid chapter about her time in Hollywood, to bubbly childhood memories. If you do decide to check this out, listen to it! You won't regret it.
