challenging dark informative inspiring reflective medium-paced

this was relatable, heart-wrenching, and beautiful to listen to her story after so many years. i am so happy and thankful she is free and has gotten the chance to write this, it must have been so cathartic for her. i’m heartbroken by all she went through. this was a read i soaked up all in one day.

challenging dark emotional hopeful inspiring reflective sad tense

So important to hear her testimony. Much love for Britney from a fellow Survivor-To-Thriver. 

I listened to the audiobook and Michelle Williams did not disappoint.

dark emotional hopeful informative sad medium-paced

Wow, this story broke my heart. I honestly don't know how Britney survived it. Her family is wretched, and she honestly just deserves nothing but happiness the rest of her life.

4.0

It makes me sad to read about everything that Britney has been through in her life, especially at the hands of people who were supposed to love and care for her. 

Despite the book not being as detailed as it could have been, it was more than enough to show and explain not only everything Britney went through, but how it has impacted her and will continue to affect her. 

This book does read almost like a teenage diary, but that is not surprising considering most of the control of her own life started to disappear when she was a teenager. So many opportunities and life experiences were taken away from her and it has definitely left its impact.
