Making a Scene by Constance Wu

3.0

I think I’m not a big enough fan of Constance Wu to have really been the intended audience of this book. It was fine. It wasn’t special. I had read an edited version of the chapter “Making a Scene” online and it seemed interesting and well-written enough to make the whole book worth checking out, but in the end, it was one of those books that only seemed to have been published because she’s famous. It irked me that she constantly said “I wish I could remember his name” and listen, I don’t have a hybrid Mercedes but every car I’ve ever driven in has had a button to turn off the stereo without having to open the door. I get it, she’s had her share of struggles in life and I don’t want to diminish them, but I didn’t feel especially moved to care about them from this book. Still, I think if you want to check this book out, you should definitely consume it as an audiobook because she reads it herself!
