Dear Girls

Ali Wong narrates her hilarious collections of essays with a spirit that will be familiar to fans of her stand-up comedy. She is upbeat, perky, and self-deprecating. The result is that she comes off as completely natural, unvarnished. Wong immerses listeners in her monologues seemingly without taking a breath. Listeners will laugh along, swept up in her anecdotes and flashbacks. Her level of intimacy will make listeners feel as if they're hearing from a friend, not listening to an audiobook by a celebrity. From recollections of her teenage years to the very real demands of balancing a career and family life, Wong's stories give listeners a range of her personal experiences and keep them laughing.
