The Sporty One
The Sporty One: My Life as a Spice Girl | Melanie Chisholm
2 posts | 3 read | 1 to read
An intimate memoir from international pop star Melanie Chisholm--better known as Mel C. or Sporty Spice--chronicling her trajectory from small-town girl to overnight icon as part of the Spice Girls. 25 years ago, The Spice Girls, a girl band that began after five women answered an ad in the paper, released their first single. 'Wannabe' became a hit and from that moment and, almost overnight, Melanie Chisholm went from small town girl to Sporty Spice, part of one of the biggest music groups in history. Beginning in her bedroom in the north-west of England dreaming of performing on stage, THE SPORTY ONE follows the meteoric rise of the Melanie and The Spice Girls, from the incredible highs of becoming one of the worlds most recognizable popstars playing at Wembley, conquering the BRITs, closing the Olympics to the difficult lows. For the first time ever, Melanie talks about the pressures of fame, the shaming and bullying she experienced, the struggles she has had with her body image and mental health, and the difficulty of finding yourself when the whole world knows your name. THE SPORTY ONE is an incredible story of resilience, hope and how you can find your power.

I had 4 days before this was due back to the library and I managed to knock out it out with 37 hours to spare! 🙌🏾

Chisholm is very honest as she chronicles her life from childhood, through the hype of Spice World, her solo career and motherhood right up to now. Sharing about her mental health, ED, body dysmorphia struggles, and other obstacles along the way. I enjoyed this book! It's a long one and Chisholm spares no details. I have much respect for her after reading this and I think I have a new favorite Spice Girl after all these years! #bookreview
