Imagine you ask someone, "What was your life like?" and they just started talking to you for 3 or 4 hours straight, that's how this book reads. I wouldn't say it's great or profound writing but that's not what she's known for so it didn't bother me. There are a few gems where she shares her personal thoughts on certain tours or albums or songs, but I'd say (especially if you're a fan) you don't come out of this knowing much more about her life or career than before. Her description of what it was like under the conservatorship was painful and probably the "meatiest" (sorry I can't think of another word) part of the book. I think Britney just needed to be able to tell her own story on her own terms and that's what this book is.

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.books_withblooms's review against another edition
