From the moment they burst into our lives, the Spice Girls have inspired millions around the world.
Emma, Geri, Melanie C, Mel B and Victoria were adored and admired in equal measure. Their determination, fierce independence and Girl Power philosophy have motivated generation after generation of young women.
Sunday Times bestselling biographer Sean Smith reveals what life was really like for the fab five, before and after they found fame – the ups and downs, personal conflicts, break-ups and controversies, health issues and trials of parenthood. Baby, Ginger, Sporty, Scary and Posh have always been so much more than their iconic image.
They conquered a male dominated music industry, raised twelve children between them while, over the years, their reunion tours have led to renewed outpourings of affection and excitement: the story of five ordinary women achieving extraordinary things is as wonderfully resonant and powerful as ever.

Good read but wanted more.
A good and positive take on the Spice Girls story to date, however no new information for hardcore fans. I have read Geri’s, Mel B’s and Victoria’s autobiographies and at times this book feels like a cut and paste job between the already published books, sometimes quoting word for word.
I brought this book expecting more insite to the 2007/8 Return Tour, the Olympics performance and their Spice World 2019 Tour but not much is written on these topics, which is really disappointing. A quick mention, then cuts back to their solo careers. A nice review of their recent tour at the back of the book, with an odd star chart (?!).
I do wonder if the author is even a fan of the girls. There are a some small errors with dates etc...
Although, I am pleased that no stories were sensationalized for more book sales.
It is also nice to read more about Melanie C and Emma, as they have not written autobiographies.
Maybe time for an official autobiography girls?
