Happy Reading.
Happy Reading.

Thank you so much for sending me this book. I loved the Spice Girls years ago. I know I will look forward to reading about Melanie's life. I enjoy memoirs. Much appreciated.

Melanie is so open about her suicide attempts, her extremely abusive second husband and the effects these events had on her family. As Melanie says, "..so many people can end up being sucked into situations they have no control over, how it all starts, little by little, heating that frog up gently until it burns." That was Melanie back then but not anymore.
Some of my favourite quotes are:
"And so many articles were written about gaslighting afterwards, opening up something we need to be aware of and need to talk about more and more."
"Mental health is an issue, abuse is an issue for men and for women, and equality for gay, lesbian, transgender, gender fluid and queer people is something we talk about and celebrate."
"I am an imperfect woman who has made mistakes, but I believe the truth sets you free."
I'll pass this book to a friend to read.

I got this back from my non BC friend. They really enjoyed reading this. They give it ten stars. It's amazing that Melanie survived and happy she's raising awareness about domestic abuse.
Reserved until I decide what to do.

The first thing I remember about the Spice Girls was my brother ringing me about them. I was 19 flatting in Nelson, he was 23 and milking cows on King Edward Island (Between Melbourne and Tasmania). I thought, OMG targeted male marketing.
