The author was witty and funny - she is a comedian after all. I'm not a fan of vulgar comedy but I liked how unapologetic she was about being a foul-mouthed, Asian-American woman. Takes alot of guts to be a comedian, tank a show and still continue to do it. Thats perseverence. Interspersed with a bit of wisdom, and a letter from the girls father, it takes lots of courage, sacrifice and understanding from both Ali and her husband to live the way they choose to live. While I wouldn't write anything like this to my daughters, its good to be open about the realities of life. Kudos to the author for being forthright about her experiences
