I enjoyed Britney's perspective into her life. I listened to the audiobook and Michelle Williams did a great job of adding emotion back into the characterization of people around Britney. I'm saddened to learn everything she went through, even before her conservatorship. I read this right after reading Jennette McCurdy's "I'm Glad My Mom Died", and I think it just solidified for me how Hollywood hates women, these women's own families hate women, and that it's an uphill battle to become your own person, adult, in the eyes of millions. I think that if you do not care for Britney Spears or judge her anyway for drinking and partying when she was young, this is not the book for you. I think any celebrity (auto)/biography you would have to have some sort of empathy to begin with to read about them.

She describes her early exploration of alcohol and sex and while not explicit, I'm sure someone would change this into a "it's her fault anyway" narrative.  I don't think you should read it if that makes you uncomfortable either.

The way this is written sounds so genuinely the way that Britney speaks. It's so endearing. As someone who grew up in the late 90s/early 2000's it was so nostalgic to read her perspective of that era. So glad I read this.

I always felt so bad for Britney, really happy she's out and living her life the fullest!

The book was a good read, but sometimes it felt like telling facts.

Britney is iconic in every sense of the word and her story was told with candor and courage. Her experience in the music industry was a deeply lonely and horribly unfair one. Every system failed her in the worst possible way, but she still fought for herself and for her children. I hope she knows nothing but happiness and peace for the rest of her days. And I hope her story makes lasting change that will protect young artists in the future.
