    I am unashamedly a huge Westlife fan, and have been since I was nine years old and I got Westlife for Christmas. Shane grew up loving boy bands and when I was younger the 90s was full of them yet Westlife were my favourite. Let's not forget they also sang at Wayne Rooney's wedding, and Wayne was the fan so perhaps there's a few closet male fans out there somewhere. Having read Westlife: Our Story, released in 2008, I knew that a book from just one member, now the band has split, would perhaps be a bit more revelatory than the band's book and also contain stories from the years after that book was released. After finishing it I can say it's definitely one of the most honest, heartfelt stories I have read. Shane has bared his heart and soul, even just reading the words you know it can't have been easy for him to share his story with the world (despite the press doing it for him) but at the same time I imagine it was quite therapeutic
