Reviews with content warning for Sexual content - The Last Black Unicorn

Tiffany Haddish is brave for sharing her story because she has had a difficult journey to get where she is today, I was unaware of just how much she endured to become a comedian too. That being said, please be mindful of the content warnings because there are a lot- from her Dad abandoning her, to her experiences with her Mom's car accident and mental illness and abuse, Sexual assault, Domestic violence, etc. I enjoyed the fact that Tiffany Haddish narrated her memoir and it was her own voice telling her story. But the main reason this book gets 1 star from me is the chapter about how she hooked up with her disabled coworker. That chapter was INCREDIBLY ableist and offensive, the descriptions she used to describe him physically were atrocious, the voices she used during the narration for him was unnecessary, and the fact that she thought she saved him by sleeping with him?! And that she was doing him and all disabled people a service by telling the story of their relationship?! I cannot believe the editors allowed that shit to be published. The rest of the book was just fine, I wouldn't recommend it though. I didn't find it particularly funny and the ableism left a bad taste in my mouth.
