Review of 'Dear Girls' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

I admit I was surprised at first because I didn't realize the book is dedicated to her daughters, and not all women. It works anyway, but I need to pay more attention to the full title. I listened to this book because I enjoy Ali Wong's stand-up, and if you are a fan too you won't be let down by her book.

The first chapters focus on her pregnancies, miscarriage and giving birth, which caught me completely by surprise. It's very Wong to go straight to the jugular, but then the book enters into this beautiful and funny narration of the most important parts of her life, and concludes with a touching text from her husband.
