Publisher's summary

Ali Wong's heartfelt and hilarious letters to her daughters cover everything they need to know in life, like the unpleasant details of dating, how to be a working mum in a male-dominated profession and how she trapped their dad.

In her hit Netflix comedy special Baby Cobra, Wong told the world her remarkably unfiltered thoughts on marriage, sex, Asian culture, working women and why you never see new mum comics onstage but you sure see plenty of new dads.

The sharp insights and humour 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 offstage, 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. Ali Wong's letters are absurdly funny, surprisingly moving and enlightening (and gross) for all.

Funny AF

I only know Ali from her movie, Always be my maybe (sadly), which I loved because it was effortlessly funny.

Only recently I watched her stand up and decided to give her audiobook a go.

Man o man was that a good decision.

From an occasional hard hitting life advise to extremely detailed and gory description of child birth, the book will leave you with fits of laughter.

Her struggle of being a working mother and her husband's selfless readiness to sacrifice his work to take care of their children is heartwarming.
