Sometimes you just need a really entertaining read that'll make you laugh like a drain. A lot. Ali Wong's Dear Girls has you covered . . . Wong transfers her stand-up persona to the page with verve and joy while sending straight-talking letters of wisdom to her two girls
* * Stylist * *

Knife-sharp . . . a genuine pleasure
* * New York Times * *

Hilariously inappropriate. Please write a Dear Girls 2, Ali
* * Vogue UK * *

Hilarious, brilliant and touching
*PATTON OSWALT*

Dear Girls is not so much a real-talk handbook as it is a myth-puncturing manifesto
* * Vogue * *

Dear Girls can be crude and flippant, LOL-dense and breezy . . . [but] she is also sneakily thoughtful about the public roles she occupies . . . Wong's daughters should consider themselves lucky to have a self-made, cultural touchstone for a mother
* * Washington Post * *

Refreshing, hilarious, and honest . . . Yes, this book is addressed to Wong's daughters, but every reader will find nuggets of wisdom and inspiration and, most important, something to laugh at
* * Bustle * *

A frank and hilarious journey through the messiness of life, from one of comedy's finest
* * The Skinny * *

Raunchy, sweet and wise all at the same time
* * NPR * *

Through the bravado and jokes, [Wong] still reveals very vulnerable sides of herself and her past . . . Her voice is so strong and unique and enjoyable and her thoughts about being raised Asian in America provoked a storm of thoughts
