You Got Anything Stronger‪?‬

APPLE BOOKS REVIEW

Get ready to laugh, cry, and shake your head in disbelief as multitalented performer Gabrielle Union spills all. You Got Anything Stronger? digs deep, picking up where Union’s breakout memoir, We’re Going to Need More Wine, left off. This time around, she displays a newfound vulnerability and fearless sense of candor, sharing life stories that feel incredibly personal. Reflecting on significant moments like having a daughter via surrogate after several miscarriages, surviving rape, and struggling with perimenopausal depression, Union shows herself to be a brilliant storyteller—and a great audiobook narrator. In between her most painful and joyous experiences, she also dishes some of her most hilarious, like showing up to an audition dressed like Janet Jackson...and meeting the actual Janet Jackson. But we were most struck by Union’s trenchant discussion of how racism is used for profit in the entertainment industry—from blackface to videos of police brutality. You Got Anything Stronger? is the kind of book that inspires all of us to be braver.
