"[A] thought-provoking, funny, tell-it-like-it-is essay collection"--Cosmopolitan

"[Gabrielle Union's] written a book of essays as raw and honest as anyone has ever produced. In this fantastic book, she discusses everything from sexual assault to the complexity of money in relationships to infertility (plus all the extra gossip you crave). Gab has not only excused the demons of her two-decade career, but she's turned the exercise into primal scream therapy for her fans. As witty, warm, and assured on the page as she is in person, this book lives somewhere between Nora Ephron and Eve Babitz, with a touch of Audre Lorde's radical awareness."--Lena Dunham, Lenny Letter

She embraces many multilayered issues in these intimate essays, giving readers glimpses of insight into her soul."--Kirkus Reviews
