emotional funny inspiring reflective medium-paced

5.0

I loved this book- especially listening on audio. It was like Gabrielle Union was speaking to me about her life, her struggles. I enjoy reading more and understanding what actors go through other than just their movies. It felt just like a boozy conversation with a friend. It isn't fluffy but it is a real exploration of race, violence, and sexuality. It is truly a life book

I've always been a big fan of Gabrielle Union, but I think I love Nikki even more 💛 I absolutely loved this book! It's not an autobiography in chronological order, but rather a collection of stories from her life. Some of them made laugh out loud, some of them made me cry. I think everyone should have to read her chapter 16 (I think) about raising black men. There was a beautiful mix of light-hearted, funny stories with emotionally challenging stories. I truly felt like I was listening to a girlfriend talk over wine. Can't wait to read the next one!
