This was a great memoir and an even better audiobook. It's so rare that a book makes me both laugh and cry, but Davis did an amazing job with this. This had me walking away thinking about what an amazing person she is. 

I will add that this is a tough read. There are a lot of content warnings because there was so much abuse and poverty in her youth and then racism throughout childhood and adulthood. But it's well worth it.

I think she won a grammy for this performance and it was well deserved. I listen to a lot of audiobooks and they're mostly fine, but she made this book something else. If you want to read this, I highly recommend the audiobook version.
