Dear Girls - Ali Wong

Ali Wong is a US comedian who has written this book as a love letter of sorts to her two young daughters, and warns them at the start to not read it until they are 21, as she is kind of blunt about her early dating and sex life.  I think though that she hits the right balance, of being funny by coming across as honest and that her love for her husband and children is her priority.  She tackles issues she faces as a comedian in dealing with racism and sexism in the industry as well as in her personal life.  I might even search out her comedy special after reading her book.  4/5

I’ve not heard of her, but then, I haven’t heard of many new comedians.
