This is an intense read in terms of content. Britney was failed at every turn by almost everyone in her life. It frequently made me angry while reading. It's a testament to her character that she's still attempting to find compassion for her parents, sister, and the other people in her life who committed terrible acts against her. I hope the writing of this was cathartic for her and that she cultivates a peaceful life from now on.

The writing style isn't flashy, but feels like a conversation, which I think is what this memoir needed. There are sections that are powerful in their starkness.

While this wasn’t incredible literature, it was raw. I felt the feelings being described, cried, and found it relatable in so many ways. This was not a gossipy tell all celebrity book. This is a statement where someone wants to tell their story on their terms and I think hopes to move on. If she wants to stay at home and dance on Instagram because it makes her small, then I’m all for it. She’s clearly a talented entertainer and dancer - I also enjoyed the brief spots where she talked about how alive and powerful she feels dancing.
