NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER Heartfelt and hilarious essays from the Emmy and Golden Globe Award-winning actress, star of the Netflix original series Beef, and two-time member of Times 100 Most Influential People of the Year list
A collection of letters to her baby girls that are barn-burning reflections on being a working mom, marriage, sex, and more. If youve ever wanted to have Ali Wongs signature voice in your head for 200-plus pages, nows your
ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: Time, Variety, Chicago Tribune, Glamour, New York
In her hit Netflix comedy special Baby Cobra, an eight-month pregnant Ali Wong resonated so strongly that she even became a popular Halloween costume. Wong told the world her remarkably unfiltered thoughts on marriage, sex, Asian culture, working women, and why you never see new mom comics on stage but you sure see plenty of new dads.
The sharp insights and humor are even more personal in this completely original collection. She shares the wisdom shes learned from a life in comedy and reveals stories from her life off stage, including the brutal single life in New York (i.e. the inevitable confrontation with erectile dysfunction), reconnecting with her roots (and drinking snake blood) in Vietnam, tales of being a wild child growing up in San Francisco, and parenting war stories. Though addressed to her daughters, Ali Wongs letters are absurdly funny, surprisingly moving, and enlightening (and gross) for all.
