We're Going to Need More Wine by Gabrielle Union
4.0
I really enjoyed this story. Many times, I find that celebrity bio's are attempts to humanize themselves and dull out unwanted advice. However, Gabrielle's was just real and straight forward.
Union didn't dwell on the sad topics, but just explained the facts. She showed her healing processes and was honest about how some pain goes unnoticed. It was also really funny. I was not expecting to laugh as much as I did. Union really does write like she's talking to a friend.
I also found this book flinchingly relatable for growing up in white suburbia. The only difference I envy is that I didn't get to spend my summers with black cousins to "ground my blackness!" I wish I did!!!
