Dear Girls Summary

Dear Girls: Intimate Tales, Untold Secrets and Advice for Living Your Best Life by Ali Wong

The New York Times bestseller
'You'll laugh like a drain' Stylist

Sharp and hilariously funny advice for growing up female from the Netflix star of Always Be My Maybe

Dear Girls is Ali Wong's collection of heartfelt and hilarious letters to her daughters covering everything they need to know in life, like the unpleasant details of dating, how to be a working mum in a male-dominated profession and how she trapped their dad.

She shares the wisdom she's learned from a life in comedy and reveals stories from her life off stage, including the brutal single life in New York (and the inevitable confrontation with erectile dysfunction), reconnecting with her roots (and drinking snake blood) in Vietnam and parenting war stories. Ali Wong's letters are absurdly funny, surprisingly moving and enlightening (and gross) for all.

Dear Girls Reviews

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 * * Literary Hub * *
