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.

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.
