Gabrielle Union’s latest book, You Got Anything Stronger?, is officially on the market, and we’ve already added it to our reading list.
The 48-year-old actress announced the exciting news in an Instagram post on Tuesday, featuring a candid video describing what readers can expect. “Sh*t is getting real,” Union captioned the post. “My new book, You Got Anything Stronger?, is OUT TODAY… and my book tour starts TONIGHT to serve up fresh realness. Link in bio for my book + tour tickets.”
“During the process of writing We’re Going to Need More Wine, there were many many chapters that I had written, but I didn’t include in the book because I wasn’t ready,” the Bring It On star said in the clip. “In this book, we cover my journey to motherhood, we cover race, we cover equality. Adult dancers—my fave, Janet Jackson. It gives you so many insights and avenues to my soul.”
And we weren’t the only ones excited about the news. Fans and fellow celebs shared their congratulations in the comments section of the post. Mindy Kaling praised her pal, writing, “You did the thing!! I love this book. It’s so hard to share how we truly feel and you did it! Congrats!” Actress Niecy Nash added, “No lies told!!! A must-read.”
This is Union’s second novel (she’s also written two children's books—Welcome to the Party and Shady Baby). To order your copy or snag tickets to her book tour, visit here.
