![]() ![]() Also her travels in Vietnam brought me right back to the time when I went to the motherland. Being Chinese-Vietnamese too, there were bits that I could relate to (we’re always going to be cheapskates for life!) But our life stories couldn’t have been more different and it was interesting to see that and how she overcame the barriers in her life. But like her stand up shows, she did not hold back in this book and it’s incredibly raw and honest.įor me, what I loved about the book was the comfort I got from reading her story of how she got to where she was now. It’s hilarious (I actually laughed out loud) and so entertaining that I got a little carried away and finished it way too quickly. ![]() When I first saw her stand up special on Netflix I was mesmerised and ‘Dear Girls’ is a continuation of that. I love Ali Wong and I think despite how crude and blunt she is, she’s a big Asian role model. Because I’m Asian and we don’t pay for books. But the second time, I brought ‘Dear Girls’ with my Christmas gift card. I went to the big Waterstones in town twice because the first time, I wasn’t sure if I wanted to commit and also because I couldn’t find the book. ![]() Anyone who knows me knows that despite the fact that I read loads, I don’t buy physical books for a number of reasons. When I first heard Ali Wong was going to have a book out, I just knew I not only had to read the book but I also had to own it. ![]()
