MAKING A SCENE

Author/narrator Constance Wu, star of CRAZY RICH ASIANS and "Fresh Off the Boat," moves listeners with her raw memoir. Raised to suppress her emotions and avoid making a scene, Wu reflects upon various memorable moments and their impact on her as a person. Each memory is cleverly set up as a scene on set. In the first half of the audiobook Wu struggles to engage the listener with her conversational delivery and lackluster anecdotes, but she hits her stride with both content and performance in the second half. She candidly shares intimate details of her experiences of sexual assault and harassment and of her infamous tweet. She also sheds light on the pressures she's faced and her mental health struggles. The result is poignant and relatable. V.T.M. © AudioFile 2022, Portland, Maine [Published: OCTOBER 2022]
