About the author

Back in 2011 when Perrie, Jesy, Leigh-Anne and Jade met, they originally auditioned for the X Factor as solo performers, but under the mentoring of Tulisa Contostavlos they joined forces to become Little Mix, X Factor’s first ever victorious group. Having captured the hearts and minds of the nation with their winning chemistry, musical sensibility and breath-taking vocal prowess, the girls shot straight to No.1 with their debut single ‘Cannonball’.

Five months after winning the 2011 series of The X Factor, Little Mix are set to triumphantly return with their new single ‘Wings’. Signed to Syco Music, Little Mix have already been wowing live arenas and crowds with their performances on the X Factor Tour, while they have been announced as the special guests on JLS and Alexandra Burke’s joint headline upcoming summer tour.

With the UK’s music scene in need of a fresh-faced, exciting girl band, Little Mix are blessed with the tunes and the personalities to stake their claim as the most thrilling prospect in chart music today.

I loved this book. Gnerally, i dont read biographies but after reading this one i might look into reading more as i thouroughly enjoyed this book. All the girls were openly honest about what they have been through in the last 6 years and how it has only made them stronger and i agree. they have all come so far from where they began without losing who they are unlike other artists. These girls will go a long way and im hoping they are around for a long time. Ive had to the pleasure to attend their concerts and you can tel how real they are and their frienship is evident to them. They are able to relate to the public like no other artists. They are like the kate middleton of the music industry.

Absolutely biased 5 stars rating.

I loved finding out more about what happens behind the scene and about their backrounds. The ups and downs that they went through. It was, also, very interesting to read about their /then/ current love life because its much different now.😂

I feel like it would be less "censored" if they wrote it now tho. Hopefully, they will!🤭🤭😄

I've loved Little Mix from Day 1 and will never stop loving them. To me, they're the perfect girlband and I'm massively proud of everything they've achieved in their 5 years (so far!) together! Jade, Jesy, Perrie and Leigh-Anne were four normal girls that were destined to be on this magical career journey together and I love that their dreams have all come true from appearing on The X Factor. They're my personal favourite X Factor success story and I love them son much!

I love how they've remained grounded and normal despite the massive success they've had; I think that's truly admirable and is essential for the fans to see when they look up to and aspire to be like them. I love that they're the closest of friends and have each other's backs. I love that they're all insanely beautiful and incredibly talented. And I love that they're regarded as one of the UK's biggest music acts; GO LITTLE MIX!!

This book was a Christmas present in 2016 and I'd have read it much quicker if I didn't have to go to work the last few days... I couldn't put it down when I did pick it up though so really I've only read it in like 3 sittings! I loved getting to know the girls more (even though as a massive fan I knew a lot of it already anyway) and I loved reading their individual take on their amazing career so far.

I wish nothing but the very best for these girls and hope that their success continues for the longest time to come! Life would be dull without Little Mix!!

I NEED THIS ASAP

I loved this, though I expected no less, being a fan of Little Mix! I found it really interesting, reading about the girls in my favourite group!! I loved reading about all the backstage happenings, the things that aren't visible to the fans. Also to read about their journey and friendship and lives away from Little Mix! I got this for Christmas 2016 and for some reason, I never picked it up to finish since starting it back then. I'm actually glad I waited until now, because they've achieved some of things they wrote about wanting to achieve since then!

And it's nice to know there's someone else - Jade - who's never burped in her life!

I absolutely loved this book. The girls wrote so openly about themselves and I felt like we really got an insight in their lives.
I also loved how they incorporated important matters that can affect us all. They used their own life lessons and shared them with us, and many times they brought me to tears.

I recommend this book, especially to big little mix fans!

I'm a massive fan of Little Mix & really enjoyed their Biography. It tells what it's like to actually be famous & shows that it's not always as glamours as it seems to be.
They tell their childhood stories & their journey.
In our world, they have a topic & each of them write a paragraph on it & then it swaps.
The only annoying thing is that sometimes when they're talking about the same subject you'll feel as if they're repeating each other, reciting the same incident or memory & they usually have the same take on a situation.
Other than that, I thoroughly enjoyed the book.

I’ve loved this book since the beginning, the way they talk about their early years, their childhood, their strength and courage to make their dreams come true. Four inspiring women who told us their complete history through these incredible pages. Full of emotions, they really open their hearts to us. I took my time to finish it cause, I mean, I didn’t want it to be over! The photos are amazing, so beautiful❤️ stan little mix for a better life!

[HanjingW_C2 · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was such an inspirational book for me to read. Little Mix is one of my favorite bands, and after reading their autobiography, I admired them more because of their courage and strength. A theme I got from their story is to not let other people's words bring you down. For example, when Jesy, one of the band members, was auditioning for X factor, she was called fat and it made her feel miserable even though her friends tried to cheer her up. Overtime, she realized that you shouldn't care about what other people think, and instead of listening to strangers and trolls on the internet, you should listen to your loved ones. Another example was when Perrie was dating Zayn Malik from One Direction. When Zayn left his band, people accused Perrie of encouraging him and she got a lot of hate. Then, a few months later, Zayn broke off their 2-year engagement and left her. Perrie was heartbroken, but she learned to heal and became a stronger person when she finally emerged. I really felt proud of the girls for always being themselves, even when people criticize them.

En serio amo mucho a éstas chicas.

Leí el libro en una traducción de fans, para fans, así que no hablaré sobre su escritura, ya que se perdió mucho al traducirse.

Algunas de las cosas contadas aquí, ya las sabía, pero debo admitir que los primeros capítulos, los cuales hablan sobre la infancia de cada una, me dejaron con un nudo en el alma, y solo podía pensar en lo mucho que quería abrazarlas.

El hablar sobre tus problemas familiares, tus inseguridades, trastornos alimenticios, y sobre tus miedos, es algo verdaderamente admirable, no podría estar más orgulloso de su crecimiento.

En su mayoría, lo que me disgustó, es que en cierto punto del libro, éste daba tintas a lo motivacional, como un de esos que encuentras en tiendas de un dollar.

Me quedo con el crecimiento personal y laboral de las chicas, y sobre todo con su hermosa amistad.

Even if this book was shockingly bad (it wasn’t), let’s be honest I’d have given it 5 stars anyway. I’m literally the biggest mixer and always will be 😂

But genuinely, I really enjoyed this book. It taught me some things that I didn’t know about the girls, and some bits were really shocking. Like when Jade said: “I said ‘I love you, Granda,’ thinking I’d see him the next day, and left. That night he died”. It was really heartbreaking to read that and about how her Granda’s death sparked her battle with anorexia.

It’s an incredible book, breaking the stigma and myths around girl groups, and highlighting how Little Mix started off as normal girls from humble, somewhat poor backgrounds, before going on to becoming superstars. It has a strong message of self love and acceptance which I think is amazing for so many teens, especially girls like me.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I needed a light read and this was definitely it! I am a huge fan of Little Mix and I’ve had this book in my shelf for a while. I’ve been reading larger books with heavy topics lately and I woke up this morning wanting to read something I knew I’d enjoy, so I grabbed this one. Honestly, I was laughing out loud, smiling a whole bunch and just genuinely soaking up every word. The reason I’m giving it four stars is because some parts were a bit too light and I wanted something more. For instance, they had a few too many pages on fashion and make up for me, but their chapter on community service went by too quickly. Nothing bad, just personal preference. But I thoroughly enjoyed peeking a bit more into the lives of one of my favorite groups.

[Rachel White · Rating 5 out of 5]

I love Little Mix and it was really lovely to read this book and understand more about their lives before Little Mix as well as how much their lives have changed. It's mode to know that even people who have found fame aren't the most confident and I think that makes them great role models for girls.

I really enjoyed the fact that this book was mainly stories or sections told by the four girls and that even though there were pictures, they weren't the main focus of the book. Overall a really great book.

[Houda Frangieh · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book is sthg else, they speak about their lives before fame and how they got to participate on X factor, but i read it a long time ago however I'm only giving a review today bcz today is our last day with them as a band and I'm here to honor those amazing 10 years with them, thank you girls 🥺 i totally recommend reading this book if you want to get to know them on a personal level, you'll laugh with them, cry with them and enjoy every moment with them... Read it to enjoy some time behing the scenes with the biggest girl group in the world ✨👑

[Julia.Reader · Rating 5 out of 5]

I would really recommend this book if you love Little Mix as much as I do. Warning it is very heavy and their stories are very heartbreaking to read. Perrie has become my favourite even more now because I realize how much we have the same story. It blowed my mind how close our story is. I honestly could not put it down. I would definitely recommend this if you are a Mixer. This is for sure my favourite book I’ve read that is from someone in the industry. It’s amazing!

[Alicia Verstraeten · Rating 5 out of 5]

Finally finished it. I wanted to savor it as long as possible, but got the feeling this week that it was time.
A chapter closing, and new ones opening.

I could write hours upon hours on how much Little Mix means to me and what they have meant to me throughout the years. They are such inspirations and one of the best rolemodels this world could ever get.

Can't wait to go see them for one last time (for now) in May.

Nothing Feels Like You.

I absolutely loved reading about all the members of little mix and there lives. This book gives you in
Sight of the 1st 6 years of them been in little mix and what’s it’s like been in the biggest girl group. You learn quite a lot of things about the girls and how the are with there families and each other. The only downside I thought of the book was that they could of spoke more about the night the won the xfactor. The photos in the book are absolutely stunning and so beautifully done. Xx

[Anushka Reddy Marri · Rating 5 out of 5]

These girls have inspired me so much. All the confidence I have is because of them. They've made be a better person. They've helped me deal with a lot of my problems. All this was on yo with their music. And after reading this book, I'm more inspired and in love with these girls. They are amazing. They are real. They are GODDESSES.

[Rianne · Rating 5 out of 5]

I am a big fan of these girls and adore the georgie huns they are to the max. Loved reading about their experiances and about their life as we didn't know it yet. I still open the book to look at pictures sometimes and I keep it in my bedside table just in case I need a little of Little Mix besides the online world.

[Sindy · Rating 2 out of 5]

I like the girl, especially Jade - but you don't need this book if you've seen some of their interviews.
The books has quite some repetitive sequences when some of the girls talk about the same events and I really disliked their western saviorism when they talked about their charity work.
It was ok, but I really wasn't invested in what they had to share with us.

[fati · Rating 5 out of 5]

Es Little Mix y todo lo que hacen es genial. Fue un comfort moment leer este libro porque crecí con ellas y en este libro hablan de toda su experiencia en Little Mix, me trajo muchos flashbacks y me sentí muy sappy leyéndolo. También hablan de sus vidas personales, su niñez y aprendes cosas que ellas normalmente no cuentan en entrevistas y vlogs que ellas hacían.

[Courtney · Rating 5 out of 5]

I loved how little mix share what it truly is like in the public eye. I love how they share the charity work they've done and how it's impacted others. I love the Q&A at the end for each of them. I've pretty much been a mixer since I got into listening to music in my early childhood. I still love their music and I enjoyed their solo songs to. I would definitely reread this.

[Madelén · Rating 3 out of 5]

Very interesting read for fans. You learn a lot about them and their experiences. What hit me the most was reading about the trip to Liberia with Comic Relief, and all their personal stories of the obstacles that have been thrown their way.
