We Were Dreamers: An Immigrant Superhero Origin Story by Simu Liu

challenging emotional hopeful inspiring medium-paced

4.5

This is a special book, and audiobook is one in a million. Hearing Simu narrate his own tales of triumph and tragedy made me feel like I was listening to a friend. He would crack jokes like MCU hero he is and I would laugh until I couldn’t breathe, and he would talk about his love for his family and I would cry until I couldn’t see. The raw emotion in the story is palpable at every stage, you can picture his smirking, self-deprecating smile, and when his voice cracks your heart breaks open. This is a book for Canadians, Chinese, immigrants, survivors, and dreamers; this is a story for all.
