I didn't know who Cheryl Cole was up until I just happen to stumble upon a UK X-Factor video on YouTube several years ago. What really appealed to me about her is how emotionally intelligent she is and how she connects with her fans. Even for me who instantly jumped on the Soldier wagon here in the U.S. I have found some areas of her past like that I could relate to which she writes about in her book. I normally don't read biographies about current day film stars or musicians, I'm more of a history buff kind of person. So I'm happy to say that Cheryl's book was the first current day musician biography that I've read. I found it to be a joy to read.
What's sad about the book is that she wished to be famous and a pop star for so long yet it seems like it ultimately made her unhappy. The paparazzi were especially brutal to her, spreading nasty rumors and constantly invading her space even during her most vulnerable times. She took a hike for malaria and ended up catching it herself the next year. She was invited onto US X Factor only to be fired after a few episodes for no good reason at all.
She is about to turn 30 a few days after this writing and all signs point in suggesting her retirement. As an American I'll probably never get to meet her or even see her perform, which sucks. I hope her and Tre Holloway settle down and start the big family she's always wanted so she can finally be happy. :)
My prediction is, she will most likely read the entire book again when she is done reading through this first cycle in her new adventure; this book is worth every penny it costed, especially if it can change someone to become so addicted to reading when it was rarely seen previously.
Also interesting to hear about her friendship with Simon Cowell and how she was pushed out of the US Xfactor job.
She faced a lot of loss of people close to her early on with drugs being a factor those around her couldn't seem to break free from.
Glad to see she has started a charity to help others.
If you are a Girls Aloud fan its a great insight to one of the members and some outrageous stories.
A great read Thanks Cheryl for setting the record straight.
