Real Girl - by Mutya Buena (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

Mutya Buena was only thirteen when she became one third of the original line-up of the iconic girl band Sugababes.

This is the story of the girl the tabloids never saw.

The real highs.
The real lows.
THE REAL GIRL.

As Mutya launched into fame, her life became unrecognizable overnight. Suddenly, she was going straight from school to the studio, rubbing shoulders with music royalty like Prince and George Michael and hearing fans scream her name.

But with the dazzle of stardom came the darker side: those who would take advantage of her naivety and her kindness, the constant taunting by the press and the lingering regret of missing out on being a real teenager.

Unflinchingly honest, Real Girl takes us through the highs of a spectacular career and the lows that came with a life in the limelight. For the first time, Mutya opens up about the struggles she kept hidden from the public eye when her life began to spiral out of control.
