We're Going to Need More Wine by Gabrielle Union Book Summary

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

Nominated for the NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Literary Work

Named a Best Book of the Year by The Root

Chosen by Emma Straub as a Best New Celebrity Memoir

“A book of essays as raw and honest as anyone has ever produced.” — Lena Dunham, Lenny Letter

In the spirit of Amy Poehler’s Yes Please, Lena Dunham’s Not That Kind of Girl, and Roxane Gay's Bad Feminist, a powerful collection of essays about gender, sexuality, race, beauty, Hollywood, and what it means to be a modern woman.

One month before the release of the highly anticipated film The Birth of a Nation, actress Gabrielle Union shook the world with a vulnerable and impassioned editorial in which she urged our society to have compassion for victims of sexual violence. In the wake of rape allegations made against director and actor Nate Parker, Union—a forty-four-year-old actress who launched her career with roles in iconic ’90s movies—instantly became the insightful, outspoken actress that Hollywood has been desperately awaiting. With honesty and heartbreaking wisdom, she revealed her own trauma as a victim of sexual assault: "It is for you that I am speaking. This is real. We are real."

In this moving collection of thought provoking essays infused with her unique wisdom and deep humor, Union uses that same fearlessness to tell astonishingly personal and true stories about power, color, gender, feminism, and fame. Union tackles a range of experiences, including bullying, beauty standards, and competition between women in Hollywood, growing up in white California suburbia and then spending summers with her black relatives in Nebraska, coping with crushes, puberty, and the divorce of her parents. Genuine and perceptive, Union bravely lays herself bare, uncovering a complex and courageous life of self-doubt and self-discovery with incredible poise and brutal honesty. Throughout, she compels us to be ethical and empathetic, and reminds us of the importance of confidence, self-awareness, and the power of sharing truth, laughter, and support.

Gab Bears Us Her Truth. Great read! A balance of intention and vulnerability.

Honest. Liked the book and appreciated the honesty and realness of Nicki aka Gabrielle.

Great book!!. So many stories that i can relate to. Very entertaining and most definitely a book to curl up with a glass of wine. Open, honest, and “as a matter of fact” is the best way to describe this book. Thank you Gabrielle Union!

A new side of Gabrielle. I’ve watched a few Gabrielle union myself and been envious of her never ending fountain of youth. This book shows a different side of union. One the tabloids don’t cover. One the Instagram captions don’t have enough room for. Such an eye opening read, ENJOY!

Obsessed. I love this book.

Fantastic. Dear Gabrielle, You were already my friend in my head. Now, even more. Thank you for being candid and letting us into stories and parts of your life you didn’t have to share. The book is fantastic. I hope it’s not your last.

Boom. I appreciate this book so much! Such a good book. I love Gabriel Union💛✨

RAW. Amazing book

Very transparent, great read!. I tell all of my girlfriends “you have to read Gabrielle’s book”!

Great read. This story was a great read.. it was interesting and keep the readers attention. The stories were fun and charming and gave Gabrielle a very human like appeal.

Going To Need More Wine. It was an excellent read! I felt as if I was part of her story. Gabrielle brought so much realness to the pages that it came alive & I had to have my glass of wine next to me.

Bomb!. I love love love the way she told it like it was. A great read i would definitely recommend this 😍 great job Gabrielle love u

Love. Thank you Gabby! You are so strong and so courageous to let us into your life. I felt very empowered reading this. I related to so many chapters in this book it’s always refreshing somewhat to know that whatever you’re going through in life...there is always a bright light coming your way!

I loved this. If I hadn’t been scrolling through my book store, I would have never known about this book. And if I had never read this book I wouldn’t know what kind of things that Gabrielle had to endure to get where she is. The lessons she had to learn. And the choices that make her who she is. I don’t typically write book reviews but I had to for this one. Sometimes as a regular middle class person we don’t think about the experiences that make our favorite actresses or actors or celebrities. We just see them as the characters in movies or tv shows and that’s the extent of it. I appreciate Gabrielle being as open and honest and real as she could be when she wrote this. I just love that she doesn’t sugarcoat any of her decisions or things that she went through. Thank you Nickie for this.

A Good Read. The stories were funny, interesting and sometimes poignant. While at times I found them wordy and tangential, the points would circle back by the end and I realized that there were lessons to be learned from each story and that explained the verbosity of the stories. I had to look up a lot of the references but I learned a lot about one of the faces I had known so long and who helped me recognize myself in media. This was also the first book I’ve successfully finished since having a baby and it’s given me hope that a good subject can always get you through to the end if it’s really good. I liked getting to hear her stories from her own mouth, without them feeling frivolous like a tabloid read. A good read overall. Also, that title was genius—whoever thought of it, I thank you. Because, wine.

Next level honesty. The honesty ‼️ This book is funny , entertaining and deep. You know how you think you know Hollywood actors and actresses? Glad to see that her book matched exactly what her on screen personality displays, bold, beautiful and vulnerable.

FONU :-). This book is everything "we" needed to hear, laugh, and know. Protect Nickie at all costs. 20/10!

Great read. Loved the rawness of this book. Can’t wait to read the next

Simply AMAZING Read!. As a fan of Gabrielle Union, I knew I would like the book. What I know now, is that I absolutely love Nickie Union’s story, and her storytelling ability. She approaches her truths openly and honestly, in ways that I’ve never read before. She’s direct, but eases you into the rough parts; she’s funny, but makes it clear that some things aren’t always jokes; she makes poignant statements about her experiences as a Black woman in America, but doesn’t take up space in victimization. This truly is a story that any and everyone can find relatability in it’s that good! There were many times I shed a tear, thinking something either reminded me of my own story or made me remember back to a time where I may have heard a story about Gabrielle. Her ability to tackle these uncomfortable subjects openly and honestly make me love and admire her even more. I highly recommend this book; it truly is a GOOD READ!

Who?. Ahhhh Yeah No!

Amazing!!!. I love how open, honest, and real Gabrielle is!

Ah-mazing!. It’s nice to know that even the famed and fabulous curse, cry and survive like I do!

Well written. You don’t really know someone until this person opens up his whole life (heart) ... this is what Gabrielle Union... Thanks for sharing your story... I will read this book again

10/10. Love it

All Over The Place. I love Gabrielle Union! I think she's a wonderful and talented actress and I could not wait to read this book, but wow, what a disappointment! The book was all over the place, very disjointed, very hard to stay interested. So sad that I had to give it such a low rating.

Great read. I loved the stories and the story telling , wished the book was longer

A window into who she truly is.. Gabrielle writes with an honest vulnerability that draws the reader into the story. We see her beyond her movie star role.

Wonderful book!. I can honestly say that this was a GREAT read! It’s easy for us regular folk to think that celebs are so different from us and Gabby does a great job of communicating the fact that she is in fact just as normal as the rest of us. I think this book humanizes her... soooo many parts of the book resonated with me. I could not put it down! If never read a book so fast! This book is black girl magic!!!

Her Truth. In this book, Gabrielle finds the guts to share the truth—her truth. You’ll LOL, cry, self-evaluate, and even get frustrated with the author. It’s a remarkable reading journey all black women should experience.

Awe inspiring. Reading this book was like sitting down with a glass of wine and letting Gabrielle Union talk. It’s like she was there at the table and we were just girlfriends reminiscing on life. I truly enjoyed her self reflection. Read from introduction to credits.

I ❤️ed Gabrielle Union prior to this book, now I ADORE Nickie Union!!. This book was amazingly thoughtful, truthful, and honest!! I truly adore Gabrielle and everything she stands for as a Black Woman. Thank you for sharing your world!

We are going to need more wine. Honesty ! I loved it !

Perfect book wonderful stories great writer. The authenticity of this book was so mesmerizing and it was so nice to actually know she’s just like one of us.

Must Read. Loved it! She spoke to you like a friend in her inner circle and every page had meaning and thoughtfulness. Highly recommend!

Wow. Absolutely amazing, couldn’t put it down! So much truth and so much life in one book.

Amazing. Every young women or older should read

We’re going to need more wine. Effortlessly cool, self deprecating, honest and entertaining.

Cant take my eyes away. Reading this book help me with understanding Myself more and knowing that I'm not alone! I laughed mostly Gabrielle is so real I feel like I've known her all my life she's amazing I can say so much but this is definitely a book I will recommend reading to everyone

Loved this book. Gabrielle is so down-to-earth! She tells her real life stories that are funny, serious, sad at times and triumphant without sugar coating it. Also gives a real prospective in what black Americans are still enduring in this day and age. Helped me understand this reality I wouldn’t have ever known. Highly recommend this book

Loved this book. Loved it!

Great read!. I totally read this in Gabrielle’s voice, in my head 😌 Great stories, which I’m sure all were not easy for her to share, but she did. Loved every moment of it. Can’t wait to read the next!

Great read. This was one of the best books I have read. Thank you Gabrielle Union for letting us into your world! 💜💜

Amazingly funny and relatesble. Gabrielle Union did an amazing job with this book. It was both hilarious and serious, made you cry and laugh. While reading the whole book I felt like I was sitting with a girlfriend just listening to her life story. Great job Gabrielle!

Loved it!. I did not want this book to end! Such a good read. I laughed at certain parts and almost cried at others.

Read it and then read it again.. If I could rate this book 100 starts I would. I am not a reader, but I was going on a long trip and knew that I needed something to occupy my time. I read this entire book in less than a day. As a 23 year old this taught me the importance of confidence, vulnerability, family, and tribulations. Not every story is perfect, but it’s worth it. 10/10 Gabrielle and thank you. ❤️

Honesty and Transparency. Gabrielle reveals ALL in her book! I never expected this. I applaud her for her honesty and transparency. Being brave enough to “go against the grain” of being a Star in Hollywood. Over the years learning to be her “true self” to love and be satisfied.

Awesome read!!. I’ve always admired Gabrielle Union and after reading this inspiring book of her and her truth I must say my admiration is at the highest peak for her. Be afraid but do it anyway! Very Encouraging thank you Gaby

Thank you!!. This book is worth every single penny! Gabrielle you were you honest and true self and that is what has made this book so amazing! Young black girl this is for you, older black woman this book is for you. This book is for me.

Astonished.. From the moment I began to read, Mrs. Union-Wade captivated me. Not only was her writing excellent, but she provided the perfect aura to make this book so captivating and comfortable. It was such an easy read, but still made you cry and think. I appreciate the rawness displayed throughout the book. There was not one time she sugar-coated anything, or did not elaborate on something, regardless of it being an uncomfortable subject. There’s not much more to say, you must read for yourself. FYI Black girls, please, please, please, read. You’ll understand why I made a personalized message just for my fellow sisters after reading.

Outstanding!. This is the best book I’ve read in a long time. Laughing, crying it was extremely well written and made me love Gabrielle Union even more, thank you for providing us with the REAL, relatable writing that mimic our lives. Thank you for being honest and telling your truth.
