0/5. Wow, this book was straight up awful. Before listening to the audio version of Haddish's memoir, I had listened to Gabourey Sidibe's book. I was so pleasantly surprised by how funny Sidibe (a "non-comedian" although I say this with reservation) was that I figured, "Ok Tiffany Haddish's book is going to be hilarious!" Boy, was I wrong. I literally did not laugh once during this entire book. I didn't giggle, I didn't crack a smile. I just sat here thinking, "When is it going to get better?" The first half of this book is so upsetting as it documents Haddish's abusive and traumatic childhood as well as an abusive marriage. But I don't want anyone to think this is why I so strongly dislike this book. Haddish is beyond brave and thoughtful to put her history out for everyone to see.

However, when Haddish spends a whole chapter disrespecting a disabled former co-worker who she thought she "healed" by fucking him, I was out. Like down-the-street-heading-for-the-next-state out. I can't even believe this got past various levels of editors and publishers. People literally read this before production and no one stopped to say, "Hey, Tiff, this part? About Roscoe? This is really insensitive. And if no one listens to me now, just make sure you don't use a fake "mush mouth" voice if you do an audio version of the book. I shouldn't have to tell you this as it's 2017 and you're a grown woman but I figured it couldn't hurt." Then (as a lot of people have mentioned), Haddish goes on to fat shame a ton of people. She also spends the last half of the book talking about how people hit on her ALL THE TIME. And hey, that's great but it just sounded so vain and didn't move any of her narratives forward. I'm really disappointed with this book but I'm so glad Audible take returns.

ALSO: I'm a pretty sex-positive person but the amount of times Haddish talked about "dick" bordered on obsessive. I get it. I've got daddy issues, too. But please stop talking about wanting to jump poor Arsenio Hall.
