Sharing of her personal life stories with sarcasm and punchlines did not last the whole book. By the end, I was tired of her close-to-yelling and extreme self deprecation even though I listened to is on many separate sittings with plenty of breaks in-between.Â
Unfortunately I could not help but judge Ali Wong's character as well. All the confession of her mistakes made her look like a very selfish person because those mistakes hurt and damage others so much. In my eyes, they were not funny.Â
One more thing that bothered me was the underlying hetero-normativity and traditional ideas of women's happy life in a family with children. I don't remember the details. If you are a fan of hers, I recommend giving a listen. It might be more enjoyable to cherry-pick chapters that interest you more, otherwise, it might feel like a long story to listen to.

It was not quite as poignant or thought-provoking as other memoirs that I have read this year, but it didn’t feel like it had to be. It doesn’t take itself too seriously, which I really appreciated.
It was whimsical, hilarious, and absolutely delightful. It provides great advice aimed at young girls, but it is just as helpful for any children, regardless of gender. Adults, too!
