    About this audiobook

    Ali Wong's heartfelt and hilarious letters to her daughters (the two she put to work while they were still in utero) covering everything they need to know in life, like the unpleasant details of dating, how to be a working mom in a male-dominated profession, and how she trapped their dad.

    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.

    Editor's Note

    Editor’s pick…

    In this memoir-slash-self-help-book dressed up as letters to her daughters, comedian Ali Wong cuts through the glitz and the glamor to talk about her tense but loving relationship with her parents, past heartbreaks and heartaches, and what it was like growing up Asian in America. As always with Wong’s work, you might pee your pants from laughing so hard as she talks about her most embarrassing moments (some of which involve peeing in places she definitely wasn’t supposed to).

      If you loved her Netflix special, you will love this! It’s hilarious but also heart warming! I couldn’t get enough!
    • 5/5
      I'm in a different generation but very funny still. A combination of significant cultural commentary and being woke with sensitivity towards us older Asian Americans. So brave.
    • 5/5
      A quick insight into Ali's life that is educational, inspiring, and enlightening.
    • 4/5
      This book talks about the issues we face in every season of our lives. The real talk we all need to hear.

      What a wonderful read. Ali Wong has kept it real and the last chapter narrated by her husband is fantastic

    • 3/5
      Her humour is not for me: some parts are.
    • 5/5
      Utterly hilarious, relatable, and self-depracating. If you love Ali Wong, you will love getting to know her a little better.

    • 5/5
      Hysterical, poignant, sweet, and intimate. Well done, Ali Wong! I really enjoyed.
    • 5/5
      I was completely unprepared to be so touched by this book. I thought it would be a raunchy, laugh-a-minute ride but it was truly touching (and raunchy, of course). And, DON’T SKIP “Mr. Wong’s” prologue!
    • 5/5
      I laughed. I cried. I laughed out loud. I sobbed. Truly beautiful and raw piece that resonates so perfectly with what it means to be asian American...to be a woman... and to be human.
    • 5/5
      I totally related and enjoyed every bit of this book
    • 5/5
      I did not even realize where my 6 hours went and the audio book was already done. Such an easy read, just like listening to an old friend narrating their truth. The afterword was a welcome surprise. It was deeply touching and moving, hats of to you Ms (and Mr)Wong :)
