I loved this book.   Tiffany Haddish is one of my favorite actresses – if you haven’t seen, “Girl’s Trip,” do.   The film is great and Tiffany Haddish is stand out hilarious.    In this book, Tiffany talks about her life with such depths of truth, the reader will be captivated by her life story.  She has the most amazing positive attitude to combat the rough times she has been through and sees some of the hardest times so innocently she just takes them in her stride where many others would not have been so strong.    She speaks honestly and openly about every aspect of her life (jaw dropping honesty at times) and while she may not name names, she tells things that will curl your hair and how she deals with some really harsh circumstances she has come through, man, I am in awe of this strong black woman – she could be a superhero because in many ways she already is.   She has kept a phenomenal sense of humor throughout even the toughest of times in her life and there have been many that she shares with her readers.  Beginning with how she arrived at the title of her life story through less than kind circumstances of her youth through her current circumstances.    She tells on herself and others and does it with such finesse and humor that I think everyone reading this book will come away a fan of hers.    She is a warrior, an overcomer and an up and comer.    May her star ever rise higher and her bank account, too.   She deserves a happy life filled with joy and no more financial worries.    She has never lost her sense of who she is and never forgot how easy it is to lose it all and have to start again.    She is brilliant and funny and doesn’t let bad terms define her.    She always finds a way and her personality is so charming.   I pray for the rest of her life she has nothing but sunshine, her book is so well done.   I would not recommend it for the younger set, as she does speak her mind in ways that can go well beyond an R rating at times, but, for the adult set, while her life story can make your jaw drop now and then, the way she bounces back will make the reader want to constantly wish her comfort for what she has been through and kudos for her amazing ability to come back from the edge and find the funny in even the most bizarre of circumstances.   Kudos, Tiffany.   Excellent book.
