Summary

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

Brutally Honest Summary

Brutally Honest: The Sunday Times Bestseller by Melanie Brown

'Utterly absorbing and deeply affecting' The Guardian

As a Spice Girl, TV talent show judge and Broadway star, Mel B a.k.a Scary Spice, has been a global icon since her twenties. But behind the glittering facade of fame, the struggles and pain of this working-class, mixed-race girl from Leeds are laid bare in her critically acclaimed best-selling memoir, Brutally Honest.

With deep personal insight, remarkable frankness and trademark Yorkshire humour, the book tells how she went from Girl Power to girl powerless during her ten-year emotionally abusive marriage. Tracing a path through the key moments in her life, she reflects on her childhood, rise to fame and her chilling downward spiral before she finally broke free.

In this expanded edition, written with Louise Gannon, Mel brings her story up to date. With her trademark honesty, she tells the unfiltered story of piecing herself back together, dealing with trauma and new heartbreak whilst becoming a champion for survivors of abuse, performing once more with the Spice Girls and receiving her MBE from Prince William.

Brutally Honest Reviews

You cannot underestimate the awareness this book is raising about coercive control it is helping us to save lives. -- Farah Nazeer, Chief Executive of Womens Aid
This book is so powerful so real, so strong and so emotional this is exactly Melanie. -- Geri Horner (nee 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 Ive 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 Melanies 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 Browns 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 *
