![]() As a teen barely able to read but with a powerful memory, Haddish ends up in AP classes an attempt to impress a boy ends up with her first winning a Shakespeare monologue competition and Bar Mitzvah entertainment when her joking goes awry in class, she is given the choice between therapy and comedy camp.

This funny and bracing memoir has very little to do with unicorns on a literal level. ![]()
