lenny3 's review for:

The Last Black Unicorn by Tiffany Haddish

2.5... withholding star rating for now, as rating a memoir has always felt strange.

Read for #Blackathon and #FeministLitFeb 2019.

Normally, I am TRASH for a celebrate memoir. Utter Trash. Put me right in the bin. But this didn’t give me what I was craving, and that could be down to timing.
Ifs it funny – Yup!
Does Tiffany Haddish have a lot to take about and unique voice – 100%

Do I think that, in this, our lord of 20-bi-teen, a book that came out at the end of 2017 already feels dated – Absolutely. What some interpret as edge, could simply be missing the mark with me, but the way Haddish describes other woman, the way she speaks to and about them, and how they are treated, is just not the brand of feminism I gravitate to.

The references to Kevin Hart being such a stand up dude are also ill timed (for the time at which I have picked this book up).
