silver_lining_in_a_book's review against another edition
Everyone thought it was hilarious. Look how crazy she is! Even my parents acted embarrassed by me. But nobody seemed to understand that I was simply out of my mind with grief. My children had been taken away from me. With my head shaved, everyone was scared of me, even my mom. No one would talk to me anymore because I was too ugly. My long hair was a big part of what people liked – I knew that. I knew a lot of guys thought long hair was hot… shaving my head was a way of saying to the world: Fuck you. You want me to be pretty for you? Fuck you. You want me to be good for you? Fuck you. You want me to be your dream girl? Fuck you.
As usual, I do not feel quite right giving a rating to such a touching, painful and (what felt like) incredibly honest memoir. Britney has been through so much and it must have been tough to recall and relive all of the mistreatment and emotional abuse she was forced to handle. I would not say that the ghostwriter was particularly strong when it came to the prose or the novel structure, but that was not the point of this book. I thoroughly appreciated learning more about Britney's life, her dreams and her beliefs. If you are in a healthy state of mind and interested in learning more about her, I definitely recommend giving the book or the audiobook a go.
