I listened to this book and finished it throughout the day. Typically, I don't enjoy audiobooks but really enjoyed this one. While much of the content in this book I knew from interviews over the year, I still think it was interesting. I enjoyed the flow of the book, and how easy it was to digest. Definitely recommend.

This was very easy to read. The book could be considered surface-level, as not much is in-depth, but I think fans and newcomers will learn more about Eve either way. Serviceable for a celebrity memoir.

The story behind her name was very unique.

Provided insight into her life, journey, and career. It helped me to understand her music better; I went back and relistened with more insight and appreciate it more.

I have always been an Eve fan and this book just solidified that for me. Hearing her story of how she became who she is and the battles but at the end she came out on top on her own terms.

Eve Jihan Jeffers-Cooper, known to the world as simply Eve, invites us into her world with this memoir that is as multi-dimensional as the woman herself. In this candid book, Eve takes us beyond the catchy hooks and rhymes that made her a global hip-hop sensation and lets us witness her journey as a young Black girl from Philly who dared to dream wildly.

Eve doesn’t shy away from the struggles—the heartbreak, identity crises, and the weight of navigating fame while staying true to herself. But what stands out most is her unyielding determination and her celebration of Black womanhood amid an industry that tries to break them. She writes about love, survival, and the courage to evolve, and while i appreciated the stories and her journey i still felt that the memoir was quite surface.

While she missed a few opportunities to dig a little deeper and instead just brushed the surface. I still appreciated that she told her narrative in a way that made her comfortable, shedding light on the joy and resilience that define us as Black women.

I am a big fan of Eve, I grew up listening to her and always admired the way she carried herself, and that hasn't changed. It was nice to hear more about her and where she came from.
