About this listen

Please note that this audiobook contains explicit language and content some listeners may find distressing.

The memoir from the real woman behind the leopard print, for real women everywhere.

As one-fifth of the iconic Spice Girls and judge on X Factor and America's Got Talent, Melanie Brown, aka Scary Spice, has been an international star since the age of 19. And yet there are sides of Mel that no one has ever seen or really known.

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 Melanie’s trademark Yorkshire humour, this audiobook removes the mask of fame and reveals the mother, wife and daughter behind the Spice Girl everyone thinks they know.

The audiobook edition features narration from Melanie, her daughter, Phoenix, and her mother, Andrea.

I knew I was going to love this book within minutes of listening to it. The narrator is brilliant and straight away I forgot that it’s not Melanie talking, really enjoyed listening to this book even though it’s sad and emotional. So brave of her to be so open.

A lot in this book opened old wounds for me, I wish I had been brave enough to write about it. Yes it was brutally honest, but also funny and uplifting. I'd recommend anyone to read it, and take heed to look for the warning signs of coercion,control and gaslighting in your relationship.

I had no idea of the struggled Mel has faced in her life. This was so eye opening, and really refreshing for someone in the public eye to talk so openly and honestly about her struggles. Also, the narrator was absolutely amazing - I completely forgot I wasn't listening to Mel herself. Really clever to use someone who sounds so alike. Great book, definitely worth a listen!

Surprising but really good

Really loved this. The title is exactly what it says - brutally honest. Frightening what Mel has been through but so glad she has her side out there now. Incredible story.

I laughed and I cried & I couldn't stop listening
