I didn't know what to expect going into this book, but it exceeded my expectations. Gabrielle Union is really f*king cool, and it was refreshing how vulnerable, down-to-earth, and real she was in each of her essays. She discusses a range of topics, such as sexual assault, racism, Hollywood, gender, and even death. Some of these essays were hilarious and wild, while others were thought-provoking and devastating.

I feel there's a tendency to automatically dismiss celebrity memoirs on the basis that celebrities are so elite that they're completely vacuous and devoid of important things to say. Gabrielle Union proves that's simply not true. I look forward to reading her next book, "Got Anything Stronger?" If it's anything like this book, it won't disappoint.
