This was a very genuine memoir and I’m glad I listened to Tiffany read it. Her voice bring a lot to the story. 

Points off for phobia of course

"The Last Black Unicorn" is raw, emotional, and (because it's Tiffany Haddish) hilarious. I highly recommend listing to the audiobook because Haddish reads it, and it's like listening to her stand-up. She tells some dark and important stories, but she delivers it with humor and heart. I enjoyed this book and felt connected at surprising moments.

I don't know how many times I asked myself "what" during this . . . Just so many questions.

I’m not very familiar with this comedian, but she certainly made me laugh at times, but also, she made me gasp and sad for her too. Her life hasn’t been easy, and for that, I’m happy for her professional success. I hope it continues. And I’m grateful that she was so open about her experiences. It seems she’s learned from them, and I hope we all do too.

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.

I loved this on audio and would say audio is essential. Haddish excels at exploring tough topics through humor. I laughed out loud so many times. Read this so quickly!
