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

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.

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.

danajoy's review

challenging reflective medium-paced

I was tempted to DNF, I'm not into gross-out humour, and this has a fair amount in it. 
This was not my favourite memoir personally but I appreciated the vulnerability that Tiffany Haddish showed. She was honest and raw, discussing her experience growing up (struggles with her mother and being in the foster system) and working to become a successful stand up comic (and then actress), which was really humbling. I was pretty uncomfortable with the way she described (and narrated) a disabled person but I can't personally speak to the representation. It was a strange section and I still don't know how I feel about it.  
I don't really rate memoirs but if you like her stand up then I would recommend the book.
