Brutally Honest by Melanie Brown

Brutally Honest by Melanie Brown

The tell-all memoir from the loudest, proudest Spice Girl and the truth behind the headlines.

You cannot underestimate the awareness this book is raising about coercive control – it is helping us to save lives-- Farah Nazeer, Chief Executive of Women’s Aid
This book is so powerful so real, so strong and so emotional – this is exactly Melanie. -- Geri Horner (née Halliwell)
An unflinching account of how an icon of girl power became utterly powerless in her own life, this brave and important book deserves to be read by fans and non-fans alike. Utterly absorbing and deeply affecting. * The Guardian *
This is the most gut wrenching, punch-in-the-stomach honest celebrity autobiography I’ve ever read. Mel B […] takes us to the darkest places behind her Scary Spice persona, educating about the true horror of domestic abuse in the process. * The Sun *
If [Melanie] Brown awakens even one reader to the reality of their situation, her legacy will endure long beyond the second Spice Girls reunion. * The Observer *
By opening up about the realities of abuse and addiction, Mel B has launched a new, but equally important, version of Girl Power. Brutally Honest will grip you from the start * Grazia *
Much like a rolling Netflix series, you find yourself hungrily digesting chapter after chapter of Melanie’s life in one sitting. Some parts are hilarious and relatable; others are just painfully difficult to read. * Gal-Dem *
Brutally Honest is a captivating memoir that candidly discusses the chain of abuse that still exists for women in society and what it will take to break it. * OK! Magazine *
Brutally Honest is just what it says. Melanie Brown’s account of an abusive relationship – of the once fearless Scary Spice being made to feel so worthless that she believes suicide is the only way out – is gripping, shocking and harrowing. * The Guardian *
