We're Going to Need More Wine: Stories That Are Funny, Complicated, and True by Gabrielle Union
kschnure's review
5.0
Easily one of my favorites of the genre. At times hilarious, at others heartbreaking, but always interesting and engaging. Hearing it in the author’s own voice on the audiobook was even better!

I opted for the audiobook format for this one. I enjoyed hearing Gabrielle Unions thoughts and opinions. There were times that her story was sad, funny, and genuine. There were other times where I lost interest. The book was good just not a wow. I think I am just not a lover of autobiographies. I am glad I listened to it rather than read it directly. Fans will definitely enjoy it. I recommend getting the audio version.

This is a book women of color should read. I love how her honesty shines through.

4.5 stars!
I really enjoyed this book (I listed to the audio version). Gabrielle was thoughtful & funny & WOW was she honest. I appreciate her willingness to show herself in a light that was not always positive. Some of the stories had me laughing and kicking my feet, while others we a lot more serious. She goes into detail about her SA as a teen, and how it affected her in years to come. I loved her stories about being a stepmom and raising the boys. The only reason I remove half a star is because the stories did not seem to have a good rhythm leading into each other, and some stories I was left wanting more.
Overall, would recommend and I plan on listening to her 2nd book very soon!
