It's a 3-star book, but Haddish elevates the audiobook to 4 stars. I have trouble paying attention to audiobook sometimes, but I was riveted and listened to this one straight through. Haddish is a great storyteller, with excellent rhythm and timing (thanks Quincy Jones!) I wish she'd talked more about her professional life. The memoir is episodic and heavily focused on her personal life. I'd like to learn more about how the tenacity and faith she highlights in these stories about her personal life helped her in her career. You get the impression that her personal life was falling apart while her career was on a slow but steady course upwards, and I would love to know more. Can't wait for her next memoir.
