Who's That Girl?: A Memoir by Eve
3.0
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.
