Book Description
Currently the most photographed woman in Britain, the former Ginger Spice sets the record straight about every aspect of her life.
“Four years ago I walked out of the biggest pop group on the planet and embarked on a journey into the unknown. Everyone, it seemed had an opinion on what Ginger Spice should do next -- the only one who wasn’t so sure was me. I didn’t know whether I’d make it on my own or fall flat on my face but I did know that this time it was Geri, not Ginger, who would be leading the way. This book is about what it’s like to strike out on your own.”
As Ginger Spice of the Spice Girls pop group, Geri Halliwell stormed the pop charts worldwide. She survived the transition to solo artist, with four No.1 hit singles in the U.K., and has managed to forge a new place in the public eye, promoting the cause of breast cancer and as a United Nations Goodwill Ambassador. Since the break-up of the Spice Girls, Geri has been written about more than almost any other pop artist. But how much of it is true? In a glorious mix of over 100 exclusive and beautiful photographs and an honest and heartfelt text, she reveals for the first time the real story of her life. As Geri herself puts it: “This is the real nitty gritty of what I’ve been up to over the last four years.”

Awesome Book - Very Honest June 14, 2008
J. Riggin (Brooklyn, NY)
I have always been a fan of autobiographies and this book certainly delivers. I was thinking it might not be as good as all that. I mean come on, yes I was a fan of the spice girls, but so was every pre teen girl.
But I was surprised to find out actually quite a lot. Geri is very open about her battles with anorexia and her trials with the paparazzi.
She is also an amazing person having done work for the UN, speaking about birth control and also performing for the troops.
It was a smart move for her to write this book and also a very honest one as well. She has been through a lot and you see her struggle through it all. It is very inspiring to know what she has been through and it makes you realize that celebrity is not always as perfect as it seems.
Great Read May 2, 2008

I read this book after reading her 1st auto-biography If Only and it is great! If only takes you up to when she left the band and Just for the Record takes you on her solo career.
This book really shows you who she is as a person. You see all sides of her and it made me like her all the more b/c you see how human she is. She shows you that all celebrities have their good an bad days like the rest of us. She gives you an insiders peak into a fun and sometimes not so fun world of celebrity.
Loved it!

I have to admit I only bought this book because the Spice Girls were getting back together and thought it would be cool. I'm not much of a reader but, this book kept me entertained, I read the whole book in one day, "If Only" should be read first but really it doesn't need to be, this book portrays even more in depth how and why Geri left the group when she did and she writes about her struggles with what she wanted to do after that decision, she also explaines her troubles with eating disorders and her passion for yoga, a great read, even if you aren't a fan!
Amazing read! May 1, 2003

This book pics up right where If Only left off. This book is an excellent read, which holds your interest and it has amazing full page pictures of Geri. I would recommend reading If Only first because "just for the record" is a continuation of it. These books are great reads even if you aren't a fan of Geri's music because she has gone through so much in her life, and it is a very inspirational book with a positive message. This book is also a ,must have for any Geri fan. Even if you don't like to read, the pictures are amazing and there are many of them.
This book is great!!![.] March 6, 2003

Ok, I got this book, and I am in love with it. First of all,I loved "If Only", which was her first book. But, it was story that never got finished. She leaves the first one with you wondering if her solo career is gonna make it, and this one picks up where she left off, and shows her spunky greatness. This book, along with the great pictures is very good. Anything and everything is shown about her life. This is a book that really makes you wanna change and be a better person. Going from 1998 to 2002 shows all of her triumphs and struggles. Anorexia, singles not getting number one, and break ups take up a major part of the book. But also, it shows her awards, loves , and performances, that make you feel like you are right there. READ THIS BOOK. The reading itself is good, but also, there are hundreds of pictures of her in the book that show her from then to now. If you have any intrest in this woman,you'd better buy this book.
