- *Dear Girls*, written as a series of letters to her daughters, is filled with Ali Wong's trademark humor, wisdom, and brutal—yet hilarious—honesty. The letters are every bit as sharp and funny as Wong's Netflix specials, but they're also surprisingly moving and enlightening. There's actually some great (and gross) advice for expecting parents in here.
