The Sporty One: My Life as a Spice Girl by Melanie Chisholm

This was a great audiobook to listen to as a childhood Spice Girls fan. I remember how much my friends and I were into them - pretending to be them during recess, performing airbands of their songs at school assemblies, collecting trading cards, dolls, and photos. It was a fandom for sure!
I learned so much about Mel C and the Spice Girls and her experiences before, during, and after this era of her life. Mel C shared so openly about her struggles with an eating disorder, depression and mental health. I am so glad she decided to speak candidly and share her story.
My only criticism is that the book felt long and slow at times. It really dragged out, but in a positive way, it gave me so much detailed information as a reader (and listener). I highly recommend the audiobook. I can't wait to dive into Mel B's (Scary Spice) memoir soon!
