Nice to meet you is Jessie's official autobiography and it's BRILLIANT! She talks about the things that are important to her and how she knows her fame won't last her forever. This is the first book I've read for a long time in one day! I borrowed it from the library and read it for 5 hours and 15 minutes flat and hardly put it down!
You will not be upset if you buy this book, it is everything that you would want to know about Jessie J and more.
It does get dull in some places at the very end when she talks about her friends and people that are close to her; I mean it's sweet and all, and all her friends and family write their own little thing to say what Jessie means to them, but most of them all say the same thing and after a while you just want it to end (the friend bit not the book). That was definitely the poorest chapter and possibly the only poor chapter.
I could talk about this book forever but I think you all might get bored in reading it by then!
The book really shows you that celebrities, even people like Jessie J, are real people and they should be treated like them; they don't want cameras in their faces when they're rushed off to hospital because they've broken their foot and they're in lots of pain, they just want to be left alone!
She talks about how she wrote her songs and what inspired her to write them and I like that, it's really interesting to know what inspired her!
There's a bit where she talks about all the kids she's seen in hospital and that part was so moving, reading some of it I had tears in my eyes. I liked how Jessie said in the book that it really upset her but she had to stay strong for the kids. When she writes about her childhood you can tell that she loved every bit of it! And how much she loves her Mum and Dad and how much she loves singing and how she takes it seriously but not for granted.
Oh and then there's the chapter where she talks about her illness and that's kind of sad too. She had a stroke at the age of eighteen and she collapsed a lot when she was a kid and to think everything she's been through and she's still going and doing what she loves to do most and nothing's going to get in her way!
She also talks about how she got her record deal and everything. The whole book's interesting, it really is! If you're a Jessie J - or even not a Jessie J - fan I think it's worth reading just to see why she is how she is!
I would definitely read it again, that's why I'm going to buy it, but I'm going to be sad to return it to the library, I really am . . .
Oh and there's a chapter where she talks about her hair and make-up for anyone that's interested in finding out her nails for the 'Price tag' music video: amazing how her nail designer did them, just amazing and so interesting!
Please give it a go, you won't regret it I promise!
