Book #13 of 2023. The Last Black Unicorn by Tiffany Haddish. 

I have decided to read more non-fiction books this year and I’ve found that biographies and memoirs are most interesting to me. This is the third so far. 

I really did not know much about Tiffany before reading this (she narrates the audiobook and I do recommend!) and now I want to know her personally. 

She has overcome so many hardships in life and still manages to have such an aura of positivity!  She has experienced child abuse, abandonment, foster care, illiteracy, and domestic violence and that isn’t all.  Through all this she keeps growing and keeps loving.  

The essays are all open and honest and hearing her get emotional while reading made them feel even more genuine.  I already knew that she was funny, but she is also all heart!  I give it 4/5.

I guess I'm in the majority, but I listened to the audiobook and I hate it. It mostly sounds made up and imbellished and she admitted that a lot of it is. I don't get the hype. And the accents in the audiobook were off-putting.

Hilarious and fascinating! Tiffany has had an interesting life, and I have already shared some of the anecdotes in conversation. She doesn't always come out looking great, but really happy I've read it.
