'What a woman and what a book!' Elizabeth Day

___________
For the first time ever, Melanie C, aka Sporty Spice, tells her amazing life story in her own words and gives a full and honest account of what life was really like in The Spice Girls.
I never told my story before because I wasn't ready. Now, finally, I am.
25 years ago, The Spice Girls, a girlband that began after answering an advert in the paper, released our first single. 'Wannabe' became a hit and from that moment, my life changed for ever.
I was suddenly part of one of the biggest music groups in history, releasing hit after hit, performing to our wonderful fans and spreading the message of Girl Power to the world. It was everything I'd dreamed of growing up, and I've had some incredible times... The BRITs! The movie! Travelling the world playing iconic venues like Madison Square Garden, The O2, Wembley Stadium and The London 2012 Olympics!!!
When you're a woman, though, that power can be easily taken away by those around you, whether by pressure, exhaustion, shaming, bullying or a constant feeling like you aren't enough. I have been known as Sporty Spice, Mel C, Melanie C or just plain old Melanie Chisholm, but what you will read within the pages of this book is who I truly am, and how I found peace with that after all these years.
I have really enjoyed reminiscing and getting everything down on the page, and, though revisiting some of my darkest times was hard, I hope this book can be inspiring and empowering as well as entertaining and give you a bit of a laugh.©2022 Melanie Chisholm (P)2022 Welbeck Publishing Group

it was fine
A bit of nostalgic trip which is always nice, nothing ground breaking or surprising though, however not always a bad thing

Melanie C’s beauty shines through
I adore Melanie C, and when I heard her on Chris Moyles that she’d written a book, I knew I’d be getting it on Audible if she had narrated - and she had. I’ve always found Melanie C so grounding and I think why I’ve always been drawn to her since the beginning of the Spice Girls - perhaps it’s because there was an unconscious connection being of the same ilk.
I’d not known many details of her struggles and I really appreciate her sharing this and how she learned to live with them. It’s a fantastic book and it gave a fair insight to her- whilst I feel she still was able to protect her privacy.

Really enjoyed this
Melanie C is someone I always admired but knew the least about from the spice girls so was good to hear about her life and the troubles and times she had been through. So personal with her reading it too

Equally entertaining and thought-provoking
An absorbing insight behind the zeitgeist of Spice Mania. But while that is a riot of fun, the book doesn't shy away from the more difficult stuff either. Melanie tackles it all earnestly and articulately, which makes it all the more illuminating and meaningful. I learned a lot.
A very touching and relatable memoir, with real depth. And Melanie's narration is animated and warm.
She's a remarkable human.
