read for Popsugar 2018 challenge: a book with an animal in the title

I really liked this! Tiffany Haddish is an excellent storyteller, and I think listening to the audiobook is perfect way to consume this book. I laughed so much listening to this; she is just hysterical. The book also goes into a lot of difficult and traumatic times in Tiffany's life, and while it's strange to say that I enjoyed it, I did. She talks about domestic violence (and gives a proper trigger warning at the beginning of the chapter), her life in foster care, her struggles with her mother (who was also abusive), and her time spent homeless while she pursued comedy. Towards the end as she gets to the past year with her success in Girl's Trip and talks about how growing up poor still affects her mentality.

My biggest qualms were the chapter on Roscoe and that Tucker Max was a coauthor. Her chapter on Roscoe made me uncomfortable at first (probably because of the voice she did) but I don't think Tiffany really makes him the joke at any point.

I laughed so hard when she said she thought her pussy had healed him, oh my god, which clearly makes herself the butt of the joke

It was a really wild story, but I think it was also told with a lot of empathy. I'm a bit confused about Tucker Max as a coauthor for this book, but frankly I'm not well-versed on co-authoring, and this was her first publication, so maybe I'm being overly sensitive.

I don't know if I would have enjoyed reading a physical book as much as the audiobook. There's so much in her cadence that really adds another layer of enjoyment. Also I haven't watched Girl's Trip yet and I'm remedying that mistake tonight!
