Listened on audible. Eve is very vulnerable and transparent in this self-narrated memoir. Enjoyed listening to her discuss her trials, rise to fame on screen and her imprint in rap royalty. Learning what was happening to her personally and her candor about healing through therapy makes her very relatable. I love her sharing their fertility struggles and how she kept hoping. Recommend for any lover of late 90s hip hop.

I'm sure Eve has a great story to tell. It just might not be in this book. In part, it's because she doesn't really say.. much. She talks in circles, doesn't go into much detail, and chooses when to drop names. Those who have kept up with the goings on can fill in the blanks, but if you don't know, you won't know. One quote I recall when she speaks of her music, she "could go there" with her music but "never really went there". Same for this book. I did enjoy the niblets I was able to gain from the book, like her growing up, getting into rapping and the start of her career. But a lot of that I could probably get from watching an extended interview.
I think 4 stars is fair!
I read the book because I was curious about - how she met her husband, her fertility journey, and what it was like acting on Queens. All of my questions were answered and then some.

There were aspects of her life I wish she had delved into more, it times it still read as guarded and I don't felt like I got not insight into Eve.
