I remember when i first read about Jade in newspapers or on telly. I hated her. But now after reading about her life it really moved me. She was loud mouthed and didn't like liars just like me. Her life was so common being a reality star.Touchy!
Brilliant book. Jade Goody was one of the most famous people from Big Brother. She was a loud mouth if ever there was one. SHe had a very under priveldged childhood, mother used drugs, alcohol, and jade practically cared for her, She was absolutely determind her boys were giogn to have all the love and things she enver had.

Reality TV star Jade Goody tells about her life in this biography which has been updated to include her cancer diagnosis. She tells the shocking story of her childhood, living with her drug addicted mother who was taking crack cocaine, her controversial rise to fame on Big Brother and her popularity decline after the race row on Celebrity Big Brother. She also paints a pretty dark picture of the relationship with Jack Tweed whose cheating and violence made her life a misery.

A truly sad and emotional book of Jade Goody's fight with cancer, which eventually took her life. Very upsetting book, which was written beautifully.
Shows her struggles with the horrible illness, and how here family were fighting with her the whole time.

Read this very quickly, was easy to read, I like autobiographys, thanks mum, she bought it me for my birthday!! Knew most of the stuff in here about Jade as I read all about her in magazines after she sadly passed away, would like to read the first and last books she wrote too.
Whether you loved Jade or not this book is a wonderful read.. Close to my heart too as i too was diagnosed with Cervical Cancer. Jade though made people aware of this awful disease as she battled it and unfortunatly never survived.
a great book from a lovely girl who came from nothing, a geat mother lived life to the full .. its a really good book rip jade

I didn't really follow Jade before her cancer hit. But I decided to read her books after she died and they hit me so bad. Being young myself and having kids the thought of dealing with what she dealt with was upsetting.

I'd forgotten how funny Jade was, a very enjoyable book that made me think what she would have been like on twitter
An interesting but sad insight into a dying mothers last moments. It did make me shed a few tears.
feeling a little ripped off as it seems to be 'catch a falling star' just a different title
All I can say is Life is f**king cruel. Poor woman :(
Oh, and she was so clumsy!
