What The Reviewers Say

Thomas Floyd,
The Washington Post
A gifted performer hounded by a diva reputation, Wu isn’t afraid to portray herself as volatile, cruel or conceited in enthralling essays that range from wistful recollections to uncomfortable confessions.
Rajpreet Heir,
The New York Times Book Review
It’s taken decades for the actor Constance Wu to accept her big feelings, but now it’s her depth of emotion that makes her debut memoir both captivating and tender.
Angelina X. Ng,
The Harvard Crimson
Constance Wu is not afraid of embarrassment, and that is the greatest strength of her debut essay collection.
Lisa Henry,
Library Journal
Wu is refreshingly honest in this look back at the most formative moments of her life, with each chapter acting as a stand-alone, deeply personal essay.
