If Valerie Bertinelli invited you into her kitchen and made you feel seen, Gabrielle Union pours you a generous glass and keeps the conversation going long past midnight. We're Going to Need More Wine delivers the same unflinching, friend-in-your-living-room candor—Hollywood backstage pass included—but with sharper edges around marriage, motherhood, and the messy work of rewriting your own story when the script you were handed doesn't fit.
Union's essays move from confession to repair with humor that never minimizes the weight, offering practical boundary work and self-care rules-of-thumb that feel like genuine advice, not aspirational performance.
This is the book for readers who want their celebrity memoirs honest, warm, and unafraid to show the receipts.
