review 1: Annie Choi's writing is edgy, funny and direct. Chapters in this memoir alternate between Choi's "letters" and essays on her family and self. I really enjoyed Choi's writing style and the tone of her essays. She did a great job of pointing out the habits and curiosities of people in their daily lives in such a fun and interesting way that perfectly translated feelings of exasperation, happiness and disbelief.
review 2: Sadly it didn't make me laugh.I was looking for a light, entertaining book and courtesy of a free download from Net Galley, this book seemed to fit the bill perfectly!Billed as “a revealing portrait of Annie and her family in all their quirky, compelling, riotous glory”, I couldn't wait to dive in for a lively read.Hmmmn, maybe my idea of com... morepelling and quirky differ from those of Annie. To be fair, there were some of her personal essays that made me smile – briefly, and I could identify with some of the issues she clearly felt strongly about. But this book sadly loses momentum and it just ceases to be funny and instead becomes boring. Sorry Annie, your previous book seems to have been more of a success but right now, I've lost my appetite for an author by the name of Annie Choi. less
