Tulisa Contostavlos is one of the most talented and high-profile recording artists working in the UK today. She has three platinum N-Dubz albums, four MOBO awards, a groundbreaking drama series, two documentaries, a MIND award and an X Factor judge's win under her belt. Not bad for a girl who's not yet twenty-five.
But this is not just a tale of glittering success. Tulisa grew up on a tough London estate and left school with no qualifications as she struggled to cope with deep-seated emotional problems while caring for her mother alone. She has seen first hand what drugs, alcohol, gang culture and violent relationships can do to young people, but she has come through it all to become the confident, inspiring artist she is today.
After mentoring Little Mix to the winning spot of the X Factor on her first year as judge, and releasing her debut solo album The Female Boss, Tulisa has sealed her position as the most exciting young talent in British music. In her typical up-front style, here she shares with us a staggeringly frank and honest account of her life. In her own words, this is her story.

Get what you expect really, I like Tulisa on the X-factor etc so gave her book a go, easy to read and quite funny in parts but generally just an 'ok' autobiography, not worth a read if you're not a fan.
I wanted to read this book because of the mental health themes. You do feel some sympathy/empathy for Tulisa when she a child... And you understand what made her the celebrity we see today. You wish that she could've taken a different life path.
Tulisa is a singer from the UK and she isn't known well in the U.S. I honestly don't remember how I came across her, but I ended up really liking her attitude and her music. She's a person that is really open about everything and I truly respect her for that. This book was full of incredibly personal things that I would never expect her to include. This girl has some balls.
Great read , about the life of Tulisa, how hard it was growing up , the problems in her family , her mums struggles, all about Ndubz , and how she ended up solo, her relationships , the xfactor and that video !
This is such a amazing and fantastic book about an inspirational pop star or urban star i would throughly recommend anyone to read this book and would pose the challenge - can anyone not read it and fall in love more with tulisa or change opinion on her.
