Brutally Honest by Melanie Brown, Louise Gannon book review

40776256 Brutally Honest

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 exposé 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.
 
 
 
My Review: 10/10
 
This book is intense and so brave. Definitely not for anyone sensitive to language, sex, or violence. There is healing and humor and light at the end of the tunnel, but the majority of the story is hard to stomach and I had to take it in pieces.

Highly recommend- this is a story that needs to be heard. Women need to recognize the signs of abuse and manipulation before they become trapped. And those already in such a situation need to hear encouragement that they can get out. It is never too late.
