Story4 out of 5 stars 1,826
Meet Randi Burnett—she’s brilliant, she’s beautiful, and she works for the bride. Missing groom? Intoxicated in-laws? Crying ring-bearer? You name it, she wrangles it. Too bad her personal life isn’t thriving like her side gig as a bridesmaid for hire. Recently dumped, Randi throws herself into her biggest challenge yet when she’s hired as a maid of honor and pretend best friend for an ice queen bride. There’s just one problem—the best man is infuriating, overprotective, and anti-marriage.

Story5 out of 5 stars 2,221
Kyran Harbor is everything I'm not. Rich. Popular. A superstar football player who's awfully broody for someone who has it all. Basically, he's a preppy jock who hates me. Oh, and he's also my stepbrother. That's right. We're stuck together, sharing a school, a house, a bathroom. Honestly I wouldn't care if he wasn't such an uptight control freak who messes with me just because we're different. I had every intention of avoiding him when we got to college. Until abrupt misfortune forces us both into a compromising position.

A disturbing tale of a young man's uncanny ability to remain both young and beautiful while descending into a life of heartless debauchery, The Picture of Dorian Gray was considered proof of both Wilde's genius and his perversion. Oscar Wilde's scandalous best seller of 1891 was one of the most damning pieces of evidence used against him in the trial that brought about his downfall.

I cross the tracks every day for one reason - to graduate from this school and get into the Ivy League. I'm not ashamed of where I come from, my family, or how everyone at Marymount thinks my skirts are too short and my lipstick is too red. Clay Collins and her friends have always turned up their noses at me. The witch with her beautiful skin, clean shoes, and rich parents who torments me daily and thinks I won't fight back. At least not until I get her alone and find out she's hiding so much more than just what's underneath those pretty clothes.

A story of family and history
I was impressed how Jay wove Chinese history throughout. I loved Kaiser’s narration and laughed out loud while commuting and listening to their story. Such a loving and diverse family! I also found myself identifying as a child of an elderly mother, making a note to be more empathetic. Truth is, though we come from diverse backgrounds, life learning may be similar. I was disappointed that I only had 56 minutes left this morning! I want it to go on! Surely, Ma has more to say! And I am excited as well for the future!

A stellar choice for my first audiobook
I’ve always been an avid reader, and although this book was well out of my usual wheelhouse, my appreciation for Jay’s charming glimpses shared on social media of his relationship with his redoubtable “Ma” — interspersed between his invaluable political analysis — inspired me to buy the book.
To my delight, I was treated to not only a touching memoir about a formidable (and funny) woman, but an engaging and artfully written tale of a remarkable family, stretching across oceans, decades and cultures. Kaiser’s narration and particularly his voice acting during dialogue really brought the story to life.
Congratulations on a wonderful book and performance, gentlemen — Ma would be proud.

A story of family
I loved that you could see and hear the love the family has for each other, and the surprise at the end made me cry! Thank you, Jay and Kaiser, for this audiobook version.

A beautiful tribute
The memoir gives an insightful look into Chinese culture, especially from the first generation immigrant point of view. The book had me in tears by the end and wanting to go home and hug my own imperfect 85 yr old immigrant mother.

Fascinating, sad, and funny
Jay's story grabs you right away and takes you on a ride spanning decades and countries. The Kuo family history is told with depth and detail. MA was an amazing woman with a sharp wit and a deep love for her family. It's a wonderful story beautifully narrated by Jay's brother Kaiser, who does a great job with the different voices, especially MA's. I highly recommend this.

Love MA!
Best audiobook I’ved listened to. I laughed and cried, and feel like I know Jay and the entire Kuo family. I really appreciated the historical context and can imagine how parts of it mirror that of my own family. The performance was outstanding.

A Heartwarming Tale
I have been reading Jay Kuo’s daily newsletter “Status Kuo” for a couple of years, and have come to appreciate and respect his political perspectives of what’s occurring in our nation. However, this book has shone an entirely different light on what l have come to know about him as a person, as well as a father, a brother, and a son. “MA in all Caps” is a rich memoir of his upbringing and family heritage - truly enlightening and enriching!
