I'll be the first to admit I'm not an autobiography reader. I don't ever seem to feel interested enough to read about how people rose to fame etc, but with Tulisa, I couldn't help myself.
I've been a fan of N-Dubz since the beginning, even liking them as far back as when they went by NW1. But Dappy nor Fazer ever interested me. When I heard Tulisa had written and released an autobiography, I knew I wanted I read it.

I feel like this book should only be given four stars but I find it difficult to give autobiographies less than five stars. After all the author is telling you their life story and opening themselves up to you, you spend time reading about them from birth up to whatever point the book ends and that's why I find it hard to rate them low. Goodreads system is especially difficult in that four is 'really liked it' and five is 'it was amazing' and I am stuck in between those two descriptions but will

Over the years, N-Dubz have been my secret guilty pleasure and since Tulisa joined X Factor, she grew on me. Therefore I wanted to read the book to find out more about her and to see which of the many stories in the press are actually true (turns out most of them).
I really enjoyed reading this book. I now have a lot more respect for Tulisa and think people should read this before they judge her.

This book was alright, think she was probably too young to write a book probably should of waited till she was 30, I found it quite boring how she went from one reationship to another and they all seemed the same. Would of been good to hear more information about her time with N-Dubz there wasn't really much of a story there.

I received this book for Christmas and read it over the holidays. I was keen to read it as Tulisa seemed like a cool lady after seeing her as a judge on the X factor.
In the preface Tulisa says if you’re gonna tell it; tell it girl and that she wants people to judge her on the facts. Her account is very honest which I love.
While reading the book, I felt I was really getting to know Tulisa. She seemed to have gone through a lot of tough times but has come out the other side stronger.

I'm not really into auto-biographies but i did enjoy this book, got through it fast and i didn't get bored so I'm happy
Well it lived up to the title. Nice easy read to start the year
I'll admit, I'm not the greatest autobiography lover - and certainly not one of Tulisa's biggest fans - but when all of this scandal about her doing drugs, dealing them and the sex tape being released and I saw this on special offer at Waterstones, I thought 'Why not? It will give me an insight into the truth about everything that has happened (hence the name, Honest.)After reading about half of this book, I came to realize - Tulisa really isn't covering anything up at all, and yes, she had a te

I've always been a fan of Tulisa but this book made me respect and love her even more, it's an inspiring auto-biography about how she started from nothing and never gave up, every single chapter was amazing. I couldn't put the book down!

I wouldn't have read this book but it was given to me as a Christmas present. I generally only read biographies of someone I 'love' although I have always like Tulisa on X factor and in the N dubz days.
The book is exactly what it's called - honest. She doesn't seem to hold back any details even ones that put her in a bad light. I enjoyed reading about her relationship with her mum and the NDubz boys. It seems to focus a lot on past relationships which helps to explain her tough attitude that co ...more

Very frank & interesting. Not at all what I expected from Tulisa. She is more down to earth than I expected.
i really enjoy auto-biographies but i have to say i found this one a little boring. i only got half way throught it and i left it there. i dont usually leave books half finished but i just had to. i found myself skipping pages just waiting to find something intresting. i know that this is about her life so it cant be as intresting as fiction books all the way through.i have nothing against tulisa and i think shes a really strong and amazing person but im just not a fan of the book.
I finished Tulisa's great biography yesterday, it was just as it's title suggests "HONEST". It was unlike any biography I read before, it was like I was sitting down with a cup of tea listening to my friend tell me about their day (well really their life) it was funny, sad, gritty, surprising but most of all truthful. It was a great read and I look forward to future instalments as I hope there will be more:)
HONEST was its title, and honest it seemed to be. I like [what I know of] Tulisa, she seems straight and honest, and I feel the book was exactly that.
If I had one fault, it was where she put herself up for 'importance' at times and the 'big I am' I really don't like that much in someone's character, I'm not sure if she sees it that way, but I certainly read it that way.
Quite a nice read

Actually quite good - never expect to like this, but it genuinely is brutally honest and quite inspiring. NOT ONE FOR YOUNGER KIDS, because to be honest, it could set quite a bad example, but it made me respect Tulisa a lot more than I previously did.
I really liked this book and thought it was incredible for her to tell her story so deep and publically. The book overall was beautiful and she is a amazing writer. I loved it and each chapter was captivating and made you want more.
I love this book, I love autobiography's I find it interesting how much you can find out about someone's life. TIP: (cheesy I know) don't judge a book by its cover
nothing special
Tulisa is really a bit young to be writing a life story.
on the upside, it seemed very honest.
