I feel like the book should have been longer. More backstories would have been nice in her younger years. My guess is the publishers wanted it out quickly. It's a heartbreaking story and I'm glad it's told I just wish it had been more in-depth.
Overall, a good look into mental health and how the legal system can be abused.

The abortion was an at-home pill abortion but she got into the pain and blood of it.livcashmere's review against another edition

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 🤌

I got the audiobook thinking Britney read it all and totally understand why she didn't. Knowing what is healthy for you is self-care. I'm going to plug in tons of content warnings. Michelle Williams is so convincing that I forgot that she was reading it. This is very much Britney's story, unfiltered and direct, her own. So much respect and love.
