A few months ago they were just four determined girls. Then there was The X Factor, the screaming fans and the record deal – life for Little Mix would never be the same again. Now join the UK’s hottest new girl group as they sing their way to superstardom.

Now they’re not only the best of friends, they’re the first ever group to win the show, they have a record deal, and are on the cover of every magazine – they’re the girls every girl wants to be.
But it hasn’t all been sparkles and glitter. From facing rejection in the early stages of The X Factor to battling bullying and personal criticism, the girls have worked ferociously for their success. Here, in their official book, they each tell the story of their amazing journey in full, from their first auditions to living out their dreams.
Stunningly-designed and packed full of unseen photos shot exclusively for the book by world-renowned celebrity photographer Dean Freeman, Little Mix: Our Story So Far provides an exclusive peek inside the world of the band as they embark on global domination.
So look out world: this is just the beginning. 2012 is the year of Little Mix – and they’re fierce.

A raw and deep look into the cruel and unforgiving past of the year of our lord 2012. High tensions, intriguing plots and moral dilemmas. Can these four strong personalities (boombox, snapback, flower, bow) persevere? Read this thought provoking tale and find out.....
Now for real.
I have never listened to little mix. My friend found this book in a thrift store and we've read it together one afternoon. Amazing time capsule if nothing else.

As a fan of little mix i cant say much because of course im going to enjoy this book. But this book is amazing, it shows all of them growing up and going through the X Factor days. I love the pictures and everything in this book. It is really funny too as they are funny girls.
This book shows how they became good friends, and how they won the X Factor.
I hope everyone enjoys this book as much as i have.

If you’re a Little Mix fan then of course you’ll love this book. It brings back a lot of nostalgia from the beginnings of the group and certainly shows how far the band has come with regard to their music. It is heavily curated but that’s something that you’d expect from this kind of book. Overall, it’s pretty good for everything that it’s trying to be. Recommended.

What can I say? I will always love my girls and I was so glad when I got the opportunity to buy their first book. I joined the Little Mix fandom back in the Get Weird era, so I didn't know much about DNA and Salute eras. With this book, I got to know them better, their journey through The X Factor, and how they became that beautiful girl group we've grown to love. I honestly can't pick a favorite one, because they are all perfect in different ways.
Jade's cuteness and support for the LGBT+ community is something that we should appreciate and respect, because not many artists do that. She's a BIG inspiration to people who feel like they are some kind of freak. YOU ARE NOT. LOVE WHO YOU WANNA, DON'T GIVE A DAMN IT'S A MAN OR A WOMAN. I adore the fact that she accepts people not for what they look, but for what they are on the inside.
Leigh's sassiness and angelic voice is one the most beautiful —and underrated— things in the world. This queen deserves every recognition in the world. I GOT YOUR BACK, GIRL. That girl can punch me in the face and I would honestly thank her. THAT'S HOW MUCH I LOVE HER. Her being a role model for people who don't feel happy in their own skin is AMAZING. WANNA TALK ABOUT COLOR? IT'S THE SKIN THAT I'M IN, YEAH, I GET FROM MY MOMMA.
Jesy just slays my life!!! She is my queen —if there's something bigger that being a queen, she is 100%—. I adore the fact that she's gone through A LOT with critics about her body. MAN, IF SHE LOOKS LIKE THAT, WHO ARE YOU TO JUDGE? MY QUEEN LOOKS GORGEOUS NO MATTER HOW HER BODY SHAPE IS, NO MATTER WHAT SHE WEARS. UNDERSTAND? She's been a really huge help for people who hate their bodies, and I wanna give you a big thanks, Jes <3
And finally, little angel miss Perrie Edwards. THIS GIRL! LET ME TELL YOU. She is the most gorgeous person to walk Earth —you can't deny it. Come on, I know you know it ;). I love the way she can be a cutie pie in a moment and at the next one, she will kill you with a look. She's also a huge inspiration for people who have scars/birth marks that they don't like. PEOPLE, YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL NO MATTER HOW MANY SCARS YOU HAVE. Those scars show the many battles you've battled, AND WON.

LOVE these girls' music but didn't know too much about them until after reading this. Enjoyed it a lot! Definitely made me a bigger fan than I already was. Excited to read more from them in a future book that I have seen coming soon.
