Your future is looking brighter than ever, or you thought so – until the High Court writ hits your door mat! – you split with your management and they have decided to sue you, break you, destroy you. No, this isn’t the promised dream, this is a nightmare, this wasn't suppose to happen! and all while still at school at the sweet age of sixteen. An intriguing Journey The scrapbook of stories takes you on a whirlwind of personal experiences.

Listen to Hollywood, London town, the glamour and the music, the drama of the court and trial, and everything in between. Everything is at stake. How does the trial end? We always talk about 'making it' and fulfilling your dreams. The question is, what if you don't? What happens next?

Ultimately this book speaks about life and family; it's hopes and disappointments, It's ups and downs. Scrapbook of an Unfound Songstress is in some way a story that speaks to us all, because in the end, the best stories are always true.

An incredible true coming of age story of a songstress caught in the full beam of the starry lights of fame whilst only sixteen years old. Vicky narrates this memoir which is peppered with her own lyrics and includes her beautiful singing. Amongst the glamorous tales of travelling the globe, traversing recording studios, the interesting characters, rubbing shoulders and collaborating with big name stars and producers, she recollects funny stories about her family and supermarket job at home, which lends an authenticity and extreme likeability to this young woman. The timeline moves back and forth so there is an impending sense of dread of what's coming, and it is dread because by this time you really like Vicky and her parents, and all her sisters. She really draws you in and makes you feel like one of them, she's very warm and down-to-earth, you can imagine grabbing a coffee with her but also trying to get front row tickets to the 02 to see her perform.

Vicky's resilience and positivity is a credit to the incredible support network around her and it amazed me how level headed and strong she remained in the face of such enormous financial pressure and the potential dream crushing circumstances that could have ended her career before it started. She really did stare down the giant. I think Vicky is a brilliant example of female empowerment and this is why financial autonomy and agency is so important for everyone but especially young women. I can see why so many people are so proud of her.

Vicky kindly sent me this audio in exchange for my honest thoughts and I would just like to say its been an honour to get to know her through this scrapbook, and I would love to hear a follow up in a few years with further reflections and perhaps some interviews from her family. I know this won't be the last we see of Vicky Nolan.

The author was kind enough to send me a digital audio copy of her book for free, in exchange for an honest review.

Scrapbook of an Unfound Songstress is an autobiography of Vicky Nolan’s experiences trying to make it famous as a pop star.

The book was an interesting read and I was fascinated to read just how difficult and brutal the music industry can be.

Although I only had a digital copy of the book and not a physical copy, I liked the way the book was written like a scrapbook.

The only part I struggled with was the way in which the book was organised. Sometimes it was a little difficult to follow as an outsider, as it wasn’t in chronological order and as such, felt a little disjointed.

But other than that, I enjoyed this book and I was glad to hear that Vicky finally found what was important to her.

Vicky kindly gifted me this book and it was so lovely and uplifting to hear her story. From her starting out in the music industry, signing to a label, discovering America and going through a court case. It is inspiring, especially for anyone looking to pursue a career in music.

The audiobook is read by Vicky herself which brings a personalised feel like your friend is telling you a story. It flicks between times and 1st and 3rd person but works well. Vicky also included lyrics from her songs dispersed throughout which added another level.

I have seen that the physical copy actually looks like a scrapbook of Vicky’s thoughts which would be amazing to see. A different way to read a memoir but feels the most Vicky way.

Beautiful memoir
