I’ve been a Britney fan since I was a child. It was easy to remember all the times she was referencing throughout the book. But, it was sad to realize how even though she was thriving to the outside world, she was hurting so much inside and being mistreated by so many adults and family members in her life. This was a good book. I would recommend it to all Britney fans.

 Freedom means being goofy, silly, and having fun on social media. Freedom means taking a break from Instagram without people calling 911. Freedom means being able to make mistakes, and learning from them. Freedom means I don’t have to perform for anyone—onstage or offstage. Freedom means that I get to be as beautifully imperfect as everyone else. And freedom means the ability, and the right, to search for joy, in my own way, on my own terms.

An incredibly heavy, emotional, at times brutal read. I'm left overwhelmed with emotion about everything that she's been through, admiration for her ability to get through it all, and appreciation for her lifetime of achievements despite her circumstances. Britney, thank you for sharing your story with all of us - may you have a lifetime of joy, freedom, and the ability to enjoy the power of your voice.

Wow. Just wow. I'm so proud and happy of Britney for writing this and finally getting to say her piece about so many things about her life that people have speculated about for ages. Justin Timberlake, Kevin Federline, and Britney's dad can suck it. There were certainly a lot of bombshells, but I also feel like so much about who she is now and things that happened back then make sense now. 

Basically, I am of the VERY firm belief that no one, NO ONE, in this world ever again gets to say anything about anything Britney should or shouldn't do for as long as that woman lives. She was controlled long before her conservatorship, and we the public are largely the ones to blame. I'm so sorry for ever calling or even thinking her crazy--she was just reacting how anyone, especially anyone in her situation and life, would've reacted, she was just under an ENORMOUS spotlight while she did so. 

Oh! Also the narrator was fantastic. I often found myself forgetting this wasn't actually Britney's voice for most of the book 🤌

Well…it took me a couple tries to get through it. What a horrific family Britney has. I’ve always said how she feels like a child trapped in a woman’s body whenever I see her on social media and this book farther proves that’s exactly what she is. The industry is terrible enough and she didn’t just have sharks in her professional life but also in her personal life. It literally made me so sad on multiple parts. 

That being said, a lot of detail we want as the public was not given and honestly she has every right to tell or not tell whatever she wants to us at this point.
