Brittany has done it again! Never did I ever think I’d be reading a book written by Brittany Spears but gosh I am so happy I did. Her story is a masterpiece but not one that you can enjoy fully because of all the hardships she has gone through. It’s a masterpiece in a sense of being a survivor of so much trauma the world has thrown at her. Multiple times she has pushed through until she could no longer do so and she had to find her way out. Through the support of her fans she’s held on and it’s such a blessing that we still have her today to love wholeheartedly. Such a great read and I highly recommend!

If you enjoyed "I'm Glad My Mom Died", then PLEASE give this one a read!   This book gave a sense of authenticity, openness, and a sense of connection that kept me captivated til the end. I personally relate to Britney's story, and her writing is absolutely phenomenal. The audio book by Michelle Williams is a great way to enjoy the story!

“…maybe that’s because of the power of your thoughts. Whatever you think you are, you become…”

“…People seemed to experience my body like it was public property. Something they could complete, control, criticize, or use as a weapon.”

4.75⭐️ bc I feel guilty putting anything else reading a memoir, honestly. 

What stuck out to me the most while reading this was her talk about age regression and how that influences how she expresses her freedom now and even how she reflects on her past and how she writes about it. It also had me thinking a lot about humanity as a whole and good vs bad natured people. I don’t want to go into more detail. Definitely cried. God. Love u Britney ❤️‍🩹

On vaikeaa antaa arvosanaa toisen elämästä kertovalla kirjalle, mutta yritin silti. Kirja olisi ehkä kaivannut vähän enemmän toimittamista ja ehkä suomennos tuntui hieman naiivilta.

Mun sydän on todella murskana sen takia, mitä Britney on joutunut kärsimään. Tämä on aito, rehellinen ja todella itsekriittinen selostus tapahtumien kulusta.

This book really made me think about everything related to being a celebrity to the level that Britney is. It brings up some of the lesser spoken about (to my knowledge) parts of it all, like how aggressive paparazzi can be.

I personally didn't know much about her before I read this book, but I vaguely do remember seeing some of the #freeBritney stuff and hearing some things about her. But having now read this book it makes me quite curious about some of her music.
