Mehso-so

April 2, 2025 DONE! Now I wouldn't say this was a fabulous, fantastic, over-the-top read, because it wasn't. I am going to be more truthful and say that it was entertaining and easy to understand. It was the kind of book where you learn about one's life. This was not a "deep" book; it was a surface level book. Therefore, I give it 3/5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️

April 1, 2025 Today is Monday.... NOT April Fools!!! Today is Tuesday and it has been a gloomy cold day for me; not sure about you but that is how my dah has gone. I basically have been cooped up in my home snuggled up in a blanket reading (just imagine). I am flipping through these pages like nothing. I am very close to the end (page 243 out of 317) and have not felt surprised or like "Whoa, really?!" The book is so-so in my opinion. Not shocking

March 28, 2025 My next TBR! I have just started reading it (yesterday actually) and it sounds like a book that is pretty conversational and focuses on her life. Can't wait to see what her life is about because I don't know much about her other than watching Fresh Off the Boat on ABC...

This is a memoir in essays, so you get glimpse of different parts of her life, including the ups and downs of her Hollywood career. Constance made news a few years ago for seeming ungrateful when her TV show was unexpectedly renewed. Now that she‘s telling her side of the story, that seems more understandable, and is a reflection of how we often see celebs from a distorted lens. This is well written and thoughtful.

TheKidUpstairs Ooh, I didn't know she had a book out. I love her, stacked! 1y
MallenNC @TheKidUpstairs I knew she had a book but had forgotten until a bookstagramer I follow posted it recently. I hope you enjoy it. 1y

#NonfictionNovember Pleasant listen so far - I‘ll admit I‘m not really familiar with Constance Wu other than knowing she was in the movie CrazyRich Asians. #Scribd

Megabooks I checked this out from the library but ended up sending it back. Interested to see what you think. 2y

4☆Wu's stories are moving and thought provoking as she looked back at her life with such observation and cander. If only we could all pick apart memories from our past with such honesty and clarity. To see our whole selves in thoes moments and the evolution of the experience as well. The writing was smart, funny and accessible. She has written a poignant and relevant addition to the genre. Out next month! #bookreview
