Like everyone else, I think Tiffany is hilarious. That's why I picked up the book - because I was curious to know what keeps her smiling and making other people laugh. She always seems to be the life of the party or know where one is at. You get a sense of that in this book by all of the things she's been through and faced good and bad. Her voice reflects a sense of humor about her life but also totally unvarnished honesty. It's Tiffany in a book.

However, I don't know what to say about the fact that she admitted some parts of the book were fabricated or exaggerated by the publishing company. From that admission, there are some rough spots in terms of the language that's used. I'm pretty sure this could compete with 8 Mile for the most use of f-words. I'm not a prude, so it didn't bother me at all, but for others, there is a lot more curse-word laden talk about sex or getting into fights with people than one might expect. As well, the chapter about Roscoe (her handicapped angel) uses descriptions that I kind of didn't know how to react to - if it was all in a friendly, upbeat no-harm-no-foul way, or that there's some straight-up ignorance about people with disabilities. And, then there's some claims (that she clarified) that she approved of the book without reading the final version and that some events might have been fabricated or exaggerated. A lot of books are co-written or heavily edited, we just don't know about it. It's hard for me to know what parts to take truthfully or with a grain of salt - who exactly what wrote.

So there's a lot of good, and a lot that I admire about Tiffany. I really loved how the book came full circle from her childhood to being adult, and learning from horrible relationships and how she hustles in all areas of her life. Onn the other hand, there are a few other parts that hold the book back from being great. I'm stuck between giving this two or three stars.
