This poor woman. If you are in any way a Britney Spears fan, and even if you're not, this is important to read. She is literally treated like the protagonist of THE YELLOW WALLPAPER. If we lock her up, we can do whatever we want. Heartbreaking.

This was a very interesting read. I learned a lot about Britney that I didn’t know but I don’t feel like maybe she hid something and lied through the book (I could be wrong but I feel something more is there)

Michelle Williams is a great reader. Fantastic audiobook - will make you cry. What Britney went through is worse than you think.

4.5

Britney depicts trauma in a way that is both simple and profoundly tragic. She gives a lot of grace — perhaps too much — to the major game changers in her life, while also allowing herself room to be human. I found myself mourning the life she could have led as an artist and mother, and I am in awe of her strength to plow forward in spite of everything that has been taken from her.

I do wonder how accurate this book is, as I assume it was written by a ghost writer with her input. Some parts feel a little too forgiving of the more egregious crimes. But you can definitely tell it’s her “voice” — that raw, unedited sass and her unrelenting perspective of goodness. It was a quick, touching, and thought-provoking read.
