“An inspiring story that manages to be painful, honest, shocking, bawdy and hilarious.” —The New York Times Book Review

From stand-up comedian, actress, and breakout star of Girls Trip, Tiffany Haddish, comes The Last Black Unicorn, a sidesplitting, hysterical, edgy, and unflinching collection of (extremely) personal essays, as fearless as the author herself.

Growing up in one of the poorest neighborhoods of South Central Los Angeles, Tiffany learned to survive by making people laugh. If she could do that, then her classmates would let her copy their homework, the other foster kids she lived with wouldn’t beat her up, and she might even get a boyfriend. Or at least she could make enough money—as the paid school mascot and in-demand Bar Mitzvah hype woman—to get her hair and nails done, so then she might get a boyfriend.

None of that worked (and she’s still single), but it allowed Tiffany to imagine a place for herself where she could do something she loved for a living: comedy.

Tiffany can’t avoid being funny—it’s just who she is, whether she’s plotting shocking, jaw-dropping revenge on an ex-boyfriend or learning how to handle her newfound fame despite still having a broke person’s mind-set. Finally poised to become a household name, she recounts with heart and humor how she came from nothing and nowhere to achieve her dreams by owning, sharing, and using her pain to heal others.

By turns hilarious, filthy, and brutally honest, The Last Black Unicorn shows the world who Tiffany Haddish really is—humble, grateful, down-to-earth, and funny as hell. And now, she’s ready to inspire others through the power of laughter.

I would recommend to everyoneeeeee

This book is the epitome of a “good read” it kept me engaged I literally read it in less than 24 hours because it was that good. I laughed, I cried, I got angry. I felt everything she intended for the readers to feel. It was down to earth and I read it in her voice the whole time 😂 I love this book

Awesome

Felt really inspired reading this book. It’s crazy to think that one person can go through so much in a lifetime... Tiffany just proved that as long as you’re persistent, you’ll go far in life. ❤️ Thank you Tiffany !

A must read!

Very good book. I literally laughed and cried and fussed at the words on the pages. It's written in Tiffany's voice. Very raw and honest. I feel so appreciative that the author trusts the reader with so much hurt and pain and truth. Awesome book Ms. Haddish. Nothing like a story where the princess rescues herself!
