Review: We’re Going to Need More Wine: Stories
We’re Going to Need More Wine: Stories by Gabrielle Union
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Gabrielle Union is one of my favorite actresses and I thoroughly enjoyed listening to her biography. Her candid, honest, compelling and sometimes snarky memoir grabbed my attention instantly. Gabrielle openly talks about her struggles with being an African American actress, her horrific sexual assault, going to private lavish parties thrown by the iconic Prince, how she and her husband (Dwayne Wade) met, growing up in a predominately white community and loosing one of childhood friends to breast cancer. There was nothing off limits, being an African American women who went to a predominately white private school, early on in life, there were many stories of Union’s that I could relate to. Every topic discussed in this memoir was relatable in some way, but what really stuck out for me, was her constant struggle with needing to be accepted by others. I too have struggled with this, and like Gabrielle Union discovered, it is truly living your life for you and the people that truly matter. With that said, I highly recommend this book.
P.S. If you are able to listen…do so, you will not regret it!
