I read this book as a fan and I was pleasantly surprised by how well written it was (I've read my fair share of poorly done non-fiction). There are so many things to quote, bits of trivia and pieces of wisdom all throughout, the chapters and quotes are well dispersed and it's overall a relatively easy read (not counting the emotional side)... I hope Sarah gets an award for writing this. Cheston, Paul (16 April 2013). "Driving ban for Girls Aloud star Sarah Harding after using mobile". Evening Standard . Retrieved 24 April 2013.

Sarah announced in August 2020 that she had been diagnosed with advanced breast cancer and sadly passed away 3 days ago on the 5th September aged 39. I cried at the prologue of this novel... when she refers to her cancer in this book she's so positive and full of hope, I admired her words so much. Knowing the end of her story while reading this book was heartbreaking but I'm SO glad she decided to write this book when she did because it's a beautiful insight into her life. She was courageous, crazy, bright and beautiful. Admittedly I didnt know very much about Sarah other than her great voice, I didnt know she struggled with ADHD, and like Im sure most people felt, I was very sad to hear her statement last year about her health issues and prognosis.
