Brutally Honest | Melanie Brown, Louise Gannon
17 posts | 16 read | 7 to read
The tell-all memoir from the loudest, proudest Spice Girl and the truth behind the headlines As one-fifth of the iconic Spice Girls and judge on X Factor and America's Got Talent, Melanie Brown, a.k.a Scary Spice, has been an international star since her twenties. Brutally Honest is an expos of the struggles and acute pain that lay behind the glamour and success. With deep personal insight, remarkable frankness and trademark Yorkshire humour, the book removes the mask of fame and reveals the true story behind the Spice Girls, as well as the horror of her most recent marriage and her 10 year struggle to be free.

Well... This is a very honestly, Honest book.
By hell does she tell all, if you don't like strong language don't read! From sex tapes,drugs, domestic violence/ violence. She has her mother and her daughter read their sections also.

kaysworld1 @Cinfhen I did the audio and she has someone else read for her but she explains everything in the beginning she does a little bit herself 4y
Cinfhen Ohh, was the narration good?? 4y
Cinfhen Disappointing she didn‘t read it herself 4y
kaysworld1 @Cinfhen She can't because she can't concentrate she too hyperactive/ADHD. The narrative was great by a Yorkshire lass just like she is. 4y
Cinfhen Just picked this up today on the Audible sale 💕💕💕 4y
kaysworld1 @Cinfhen I'm glad you decided to give it a go xx 4y

@Cathythoughts and @TheNeverendingTBR are showing the face behind the posts so might as well jump on the wagon as I don't do selfies very much.
Heres me fresh out the shower and going to start cleaning before going for a walk.

The Spice Girls were a huge part of my youth. I loved them and still listen to them when I need something to lift my mood. I really enjoyed this book by Mel B about all the things she went through during her career and after. I found it to be very brave and inspirational that she was so candid about topics surrounding domestic violence, mental health and sex and think this is an important book for women to read!

#NFNov I was a few years too old for the Spice Girls,but my eldest daughter was obsessed with them,to the point of having a “Spice Girls Theme” birthday party(yes, I dressed up as Sporty Spice🤦🏻‍♀️)so it was interesting to get a bit of background on the girls.Her husband sounds like a real prince,mental abuse can be far more damaging than physical,believe me I know. She does come across as very much Me Me Me at times. #TIL-NEVER make a sex tape!

Tonight‘s #NFNov book is Mel.B‘s memoir. The former Scary Spice has had a rough couple of years, including an abusive husband & leaked sex tapes. Paired with my homemade Chicken Stir Fry made with my secret sauce(all handmade & fresh). Yum. (It was amazing by the way, I‘ve already finished it!) What‘s your #BookAndDinner tonight? #TIL - Mels ex husband kept a safe full of sex tapes to keep her under control. Awful man.😡

marleed Omg that‘s horrible. The sex tapes, that is. The chicken stir fry looks great. 5y
Clwojick Yummmm! this looks delish! 4 pt. 5y

Very good. It does what it says on the tin it is Brutally Honest!!! Painful and heartbreaking at times but it shows that the truth behind how domestic violence can wreck a person. Even though there are many funny moments and took me back to the heyday of the Spice Girls, this is about one women's struggle not just with getting out a horrible marrrige but how she is rebuilding her life now. Recommend especially if you grew up with the Spice Girls.

Birdsong28 Listened to the audio version of this and the narrator was so superb that I thought I was actually listening to Mel B. #Audible 5y

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ What the what? I grabbed this recent Audible deal not knowing much about Mel B‘s life. She goes deep into her past relationships including a quite messed up marriage that lasted 10 years, produced her third daughter, & yielded 50+ sex tapes (some w/ disturbing content). That husband was a real piece of ... work. Scary Spice has been through some shit & does not sugarcoat nor discount the unhealthy ways she coped. Brutally honest, indeed.
