Synopsis

A sometimes serious, often hilarious, and always inspiring guide that encourages young women to live a life full of ownership, confidence, and freedom from singer and popular Scream Queens and Grease Live! actress Keke Palmer, delightfully illustrated in four color with Keke’s favorite inspirational quotes, journal entries, and memes.

As a successful singer, actress, and talk show host, Keke has always used her huge social media following as a platform for real talk about the issues that matter to her generation, and now she is speaking out candidly and for the first time about the secrets, struggles, and practices that have guided her to succeed. On the surface, it may appear that Keke has it made, but under the success, she has grappled with the same issues all young women wrestle with—identity, pressure, self-worth, love, sexuality, heartbreak, and family.

With this in mind, she created I Don’t Belong To You—an inspirational guide that encourages young women to change their mindset and live with more freedom, confidence, and love as they navigate the rough terrain of the twenty-first century. Full of revealing stories from Keke’s personal and professional life, this book tackles twelve topics—sexuality, race, anxiety, success, bullying, and body image to name a few—with refreshing honesty.

Within each chapter is a personal interview with one of the many people that have inspired and motivated her, including Serena Williams, Drake, Nicki Minaj, and Lee Daniels; quotes, texts, song lyrics, and funny memes that have inspired her; and practices that can help you stay on a path of always growing, moving forward. With a voice of empathy, tough love, and determination, Keke speaks about the challenges and triumphs she has experienced on her journey to finding her own voice and creating a beautiful life. I Don’t Belong To You is the motivation you need to move past pain and fear to lead a life full of creativity, spirituality, passion, and unlimited success.

Goodreads review by Sherri on August 25, 2017

So, when I picked this up, I thought I was getting a sassy biography type of book. What I ended up with was a self-help book with personal anecdotes peppered in. Not a bad thing in and of itself, but definitely not what I had expected. The problem I had with this book mainly was the writing. It was c......more

It is no secret that I am a fan of Keke Palmer, I admire her infectious personality and her strong work ethic.

Goodreads review by Lulu on July 30, 2020

Keke Palmer reminds me of a younger Jenifer Lewis. Her personality is so huge and uninhibited. I love Keke Palmer, but this book was just okay. First, it’s not a memoir of an inspirational/spiritual speech. It starts off pretty strong and we get to see a lot of the wisdom that she for such a......more
