Summary

'I can't rewrite history; all I can do is be honest and wear my heart on my sleeve。 It's really the only way I know。 I want to show people the real me。 Or perhaps remind them。 Because, somewhere - amongst the nightclubs, the frocks and hairdos, the big chart hits, and the glamour of being a popstar - the other Sarah Harding got utterly lost。 She's the one who's been forgotten。 And all I want is for you to hear her out。'

Sarah Harding is best known as the wild member of Girls Aloud, whose reputation for partying, drinking and dating made her a tabloid favourite。 But where does the celebrity Sarah Harding end and the real Sarah begin?

Faced with a devastating cancer diagnosis that turned her life upside down, Sarah has decided that now is the time to write her story。 Her truth。

This is Sarah Harding in her own words。

On hearing the sad news of her passing this afternoon, I am going to purchase this book and read it as soon as I can。 RIP Sarah。 Thank you for the music。 xx

Janet

This is very interesting。 It begins with her early life, how she got in Girl’s Aloud, her problems with drink and drugs, her acting career and her battle with cancer。Sadly, she is still struggling with cancer but in her autobiography she is positive about the future。Update。 RIP Sarah。 Very very sad news 😢

Suzie

Such an emotional read 😪 it great that Sarah want to raise awareness on cancer and getting people to check out any issues as soon as possible, even in the current pandemic

My gosh this was an emotional listen。 It’s honest, it’s raw and it’s heartbreaking。 Growing up, I loved Girls Aloud so after reading about Sarah’s tragic cancer diagnosis, I knew I wanted to read this book to hear her story。 I listened to this on audio and I managed to finish it quite quickly。 The book covers Sarah’s life from when she was a child, to when she was in Girls Aloud, her love life, her highs, her lows and her cancer all in her own words。It was such an interesting listen。 At times I My gosh this was an emotional listen。 It’s honest, it’s raw and it’s heartbreaking。 Growing up, I loved Girls Aloud so after reading about Sarah’s tragic cancer diagnosis, I knew I wanted to read this book to hear her story。 I listened to this on audio and I managed to finish it quite quickly。 The book covers Sarah’s life from when she was a child, to when she was in Girls Aloud, her love life, her highs, her lows and her cancer all in her own words。It was such an interesting listen。 At times I laughed out loud and a few times I cried。 I wish Sarah the best of luck with her cancer and I hope the rest of her wishes can come true。 。。。more

Judging from some of the reviews, I might read this。 Not a Sarah Harding or Girls Aloud fan。

Kendra

Quite repetitive

Well Said Sarah !

Considering this was written when going through and recovering from her cancer treatment, how she found the energy is outstanding。

Firstly, I have always loved Sarah Harding。 For me she stood out in Girls Aloud。 Thought she was especially gorgeous。 Loved her vivacious, OTT, wild, personality。 Also helped that I loved Girls Aloud music。 They kind of epitomise everything I like about pop music。 Great image, great music, glossy, high energy, with indie musical elements thrown in。 Pure pop basically。 To hear that Harding has got terminal cancer is simply heart-breaking。 How unfair that someone in their prime is being taken。 So, Firstly, I have always loved Sarah Harding。 For me she stood out in Girls Aloud。 Thought she was especially gorgeous。 Loved her vivacious, OTT, wild, personality。 Also helped that I loved Girls Aloud music。 They kind of epitomise everything I like about pop music。 Great image, great music, glossy, high energy, with indie musical elements thrown in。 Pure pop basically。 To hear that Harding has got terminal cancer is simply heart-breaking。 How unfair that someone in their prime is being taken。 So, so cruel。 You might expect this book to be a complete downer as a result。 In fact, it's heartfelt, honest and never mawkish。 In a strange way I found it weirdly uplifting actually。 I think that may be to do with the fact that she's describing in real time the outpouring of affection for her from her family, friends and fans and what that is giving her。 You get the sense that she always had a fragile confidence and perhaps she is only now getting a sense of how loved she is。 The story also manages to highlight the impact of lockdown on other non-covid illnesses and the incredible role of the individuals in NHS in her care。 Your heart goes out to her, especially as she mentions her regrets。 For example, the sudden realisation on the phone to Cheryl when she realises she won't have children。 What's also lovely about this book is that Harding gets the chance to set the record straight on so many of the tabloid stories told about her。 You can tell she's gotten a lot from the process of writing this book。 I guess she's documenting her legacy, her life: taking back control of her narrative。 Good for her。 。。。more

Pragmatic, raw, sad。 An honest autobiography from Sarah。

Lindsay Kiley

This book takes me back to the early 2000! Interesting hearing about the party scene back then and what Sarah was getting up to with the band behind the scenes。 Sad news about Sarahs illness。 I wish her all the best and hope everything works out for her。

Lorraine

A beautiful book, perfectly narrated。Sarah's very honest account of her life。 I love how she tells it like it is and doesn't hold back。 Such a ballsy lady! It was narrated perfectly too, so kudos to Rebekah Hinds。 Loved listening。 A beautiful book, perfectly narrated。Sarah's very honest account of her life。 I love how she tells it like it is and doesn't hold back。 Such a ballsy lady!

A very moving book and makes you realise how precious life is and not to take moments for granted。 Sarah has always been my favourite member of Girls Aloud and the fact that she is currently battling cancer is heart-breaking but she has spoken very honestly about her experiences and encourages all of us to get ourselves checked out if we feel something isn't right。 Also what was interesting to read was her account of life from childhood all the way through to her time in Girls Aloud and right up A very moving book and makes you realise how precious life is and not to take moments for granted。 Sarah has always been my favourite member of Girls Aloud and the fact that she is currently battling cancer is heart-breaking but she has spoken very honestly about her experiences and encourages all of us to get ourselves checked out if we feel something isn't right。 Also what was interesting to read was her account of life from childhood all the way through to her time in Girls Aloud and right up to this year where she has begun her cancer treatment。 A wonderfully honest woman who I wish all the best。 。。。more

As a big fan of girls aloud back in my younger days, I was so saddened by the news of Sarah's diagnosis, especially as at the same time we had a cancer diagnosis in my family。 It has taken me a while to get round to reading this book as I knew it would be a tough read。 I love this book, don't get me wrong I cried numerous times throughout, but it felt like Sarah was talking to you about her experiences。 I love the little life updates throughout and the parts from Nadine and Cheryl。 Overall I jus As a big fan of girls aloud back in my younger days, I was so saddened by the news of Sarah's diagnosis, especially as at the same time we had a cancer diagnosis in my family。 It has taken me a while to get round to reading this book as I knew it would be a tough read。 I love this book, don't get me wrong I cried numerous times throughout, but it felt like Sarah was talking to you about her experiences。 I love the little life updates throughout and the parts from Nadine and Cheryl。 Overall I just thought it was really nice and so brace of her to complete。 And my copy now as tear stains on the pages。 。。。more

Can’t say I’ve always been a fan of hers but wanted to read her story to see if I would like her after reading her own truths。 She admits she’s not always been on the right side of things and she’s had many relationships but on the whole I do feel for her in what she’s going through now。 No-one deserves to be going through this。

Karen Morbey

Very honest account of Sarah's journey pre Girls Aloud, during and post。 Her discovery that she has breast cancer and how she is coping with it。 Very honest account of Sarah's journey pre Girls Aloud, during and post。 Her discovery that she has breast cancer and how she is coping with it。 。。。more

So emotional, I read it all in one sitting。 I’ve always loved Girls Aloud and Sarah is such a beautiful wonderful person。 Definitely need tissues。

Claire Carcavella

Wonderfully honestJust an honest read about her journey which will make you laugh and cry。 I feel like I got to know the real Sarah。

Megan O'Kane

This book is an emotional rollercoaster。 One minute you're laughing at her mad stories and then you're reminded of her devastating diagnosis。 My heart is broken for her。I feel like anyone reading this who doesn't know anything about Sarah beyond how she's been portrayed in the media will be surprised by a lot of what's written in this book。 Highly recommend and I'm so glad that Sarah had the opportunity to release this book and tell her own story in her own words。 This book is an emotional rollercoaster。 One minute you're laughing at her mad stories and then you're reminded of her devastating diagnosis。 My heart is broken for her。I feel like anyone reading this who doesn't know anything about Sarah beyond how she's been portrayed in the media will be surprised by a lot of what's written in this book。 Highly recommend and I'm so glad that Sarah had the opportunity to release this book and tell her own story in her own words。 。。。more

This book is beautiful, yet heartbreaking, upsetting and raw。 There's no denying that it's a difficult read simply because of how honest Sarah is throughout。 I don't normally rate memoirs and autobiographies, but I couldn't not give this one 5 stars。 I send Sarah all the hope and love in the world。 I can tell that writing this book can't have been easy, and it was so brave that she did it。 I flew through this book, and I have no doubt that I will revisit it again in the future。 This book is beautiful, yet heartbreaking, upsetting and raw。 There's no denying that it's a difficult read simply because of how honest Sarah is throughout。 I don't normally rate memoirs and autobiographies, but I couldn't not give this one 5 stars。 I send Sarah all the hope and love in the world。 I can tell that writing this book can't have been easy, and it was so brave that she did it。 I flew through this book, and I have no doubt that I will revisit it again in the future。 。。。more

I’ve always been a big Girl aloud fan。 So sad but such a well tackled book。 Wishing you all the luck Sarah

The way this book is written is so unbelievable real and raw。 From an avid readers point of view it may come across as being a bit chaotic, with it jumping back and forth between time frames at a rapid pace。 This may have been something I'd have pointed out if it had been written by someone else, but this book is nothing but 100% Sarah。 The way that it is written is so suiting of her personality, and the time frame jumps only emphasise this。 Everything that Sarah is really shines through, her hu The way this book is written is so unbelievable real and raw。 From an avid readers point of view it may come across as being a bit chaotic, with it jumping back and forth between time frames at a rapid pace。 This may have been something I'd have pointed out if it had been written by someone else, but this book is nothing but 100% Sarah。 The way that it is written is so suiting of her personality, and the time frame jumps only emphasise this。 Everything that Sarah is really shines through, her humour, her talent, her struggles, her everything。 She tells it as it is and I love her for it。 I think this book is best suited to a fan, but I think everyone could get something from it。 Girls Aloud were the first artist I ever really liked and the first ever concert I went to aged just 10 years old。 At 25, hearing the news about Sarah's diagnosis I can say that I'm nothing but devastated。 I'm so glad that she decided to tell her story her own way。 I wish Sarah all the best, she really is a brave and wonderful person 💜 。。。more

This is not an easy read due to the topics covered not just regarding her cancer, but it is a dam important one for anyone who admires female celebrities。 If you do read one autobiography this year make it this one it may just save your life。Like many people I had a preconceived opinion about Sarah based on what was in the media。I am pleased to admit I was wrong。 This girl has dealt with so much and is still fighting。It was lovely to relive my pop 20’s-30’s through her eyes and I was definitely This is not an easy read due to the topics covered not just regarding her cancer, but it is a dam important one for anyone who admires female celebrities。 If you do read one autobiography this year make it this one it may just save your life。Like many people I had a preconceived opinion about Sarah based on what was in the media。I am pleased to admit I was wrong。 This girl has dealt with so much and is still fighting。It was lovely to relive my pop 20’s-30’s through her eyes and I was definitely lead in to believing things that just are not true。 Pleased she got her chance to tell her story。What ever the future holds for Sarah good and/or bad she’ll deal with it in typical Harding style and doing it her way。I wish her all the best for the future。 。。。more
