Dear Girls by Ali Wong

Dear Girls by Ali Wong

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - From Ali Wong, star of the Netflix original series Beef, a refreshing, hilarious, and honest account of making a career in a male-dominated field, dating, being a mom, growing up, and so much more (Bustle) through heartfelt and wickedly funny letters to her daughters

Ali Wong is one of Time's 100 Most Influential People of the Year - Knife-sharp . . . a genuine pleasure.--The New York Times

ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: Time, Variety, Chicago Tribune, Glamour, New York

In her hit Netflix comedy special Baby Cobra, an eight-month pregnant Ali Wong resonated so strongly that she even became a popular Halloween costume. Wong told the world her remarkably unfiltered thoughts on marriage, sex, Asian culture, working women, and why you never see new mom comics on stage but you sure see plenty of new dads.

The sharp insights and humor are even more personal in this completely original collection. She shares the wisdom she's learned from a life in comedy and reveals stories from her life off stage, including the brutal single life in New York (i.e. the inevitable confrontation with erectile dysfunction), reconnecting with her roots (and drinking snake blood) in Vietnam, tales of being a wild child growing up in San Francisco, and parenting war stories. Though addressed to her daughters, Ali Wong's letters are absurdly funny, surprisingly moving, and enlightening (and gross) for all.
