First of all, this cover 😍 This is a short read, a “memoir in 9 adventures” of Wang‘s Chinese mother. They immigrated to America. Between any mother and daughter irritations and misunderstandings abound, but these are highlighted when cultural norms are part of the relationship. Great audio narration but the stories didn‘t go as deep as some other memoirs I‘ve read. This felt more anecdotal and humorous which was good but scratched the surface.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Wang - journalist, and former Refinery29 editorial director - shares nine stories / adventures experienced with her Chinese immigrant mother. I knew I was gonna enjoy this when she explained the title. How clever! The mother-daughter relationship thread works well here. A solid essay collection; my favorite being the one about Disney.
