Dear Girls by Ali Wong

Dear Girls: Intimate Tales, Untold Secrets & Advice for Living Your Best Life is a hilarious journey through comedian Ali Wong’s adventures through life, stand up and motherhood.

Wong, known for her writing on sitcom Fresh Off the Boat and co-starring alongside Randall Park in Always Be My Maybe, came to worldwide attention with the release of her Netflix special Baby Cobra and it’s follow up Hard Knock Wife. Wong seemed to appear out of nowhere, her stand up shows so sharp, candid and funny; it was hard to ignore her striking humour on stage.

However, as she details in her memoir, Wong earnt her place on the big screen after years of performing on small stages across America.

Dear Girls is constructed as a letter to her two daughters, giving them life advice and tales to help them on their way as they grow up. Wong explores her youth as a university student, travelling Asia and Europe, and tells us stories of friendships and boyfriends.

Wong details her early days of stand-up comedy performing night after night, refining her jokes and being the only female in the line-up. The tenacity and energy she consistently put into her craft are a credit to her iron strong work ethic which contributed to today’s success.
 

Dear Girls is an endearing and entertaining memoir for fans of Ali Wong or anyone interested in empowered women making waves in entertainment. Dear Girls: Intimate Tales, Untold Secrets & Advice for Living Your Best Life is available as an eBook or audiobook on OverDrive through Greater Dandenong Libraries.
