What Would the Spice Girls Do?: How the Girl Power Generation Grew Up by Lauren Bravo
3.0
When I first started this, I really enjoyed the nostalgia and memories - it was like a time capsule! Although I enjoyed SpiceMania from the other side of the world, I could still relate to a lot of the childhood stories in this book.
But as it went on, my interest waned. It was a lot of naval gazing and pontification that should be taken with a grain of salt. Although I’m only a year or two younger than the author, I felt the writing try-hard and irritating. I had no idea what she was talking about towards the end of the book with all the popular culture references.
I don’t tend to read books like this because the tone irritates me. As much as I love the Spice Girls, I felt like this book just solidified my decision to steer clear.
