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.

im going to be honest - i haven't read too many celebrity memoirs, but this.... was the worst ive read.
now, i will say, i am a britney stan until i DIE. she is an icon, a legend, and she is the moment. i was in the trenches during her conservatorship, and i wish her nothing but peace for the rest of her life.
however, this was incredibly surface-level.
now, i understand this is her book!!! she can choose how much she wants to spill!! and truly she did spill at some parts. but if you don't want to reveal a lot, why write a memoir.....
i understand how her life has been traumatic & understand how dredging up those feelings and memories may have been too painful for her. but in that case, why write a memoir about it?? i also know she wants to raise awareness on conservatorship but girlie i promise you did not have to write a memoir to achieve that.
i also would like to say the writing is incredibly..... lacklustre. i know she said she's been robbed of her childhood & womanhood..... and i can tell. the writing is incredibly juvenile and lacks depth. like when she'll describe an event, she'll go "i loved that. it was great". like my last celebrity memoir was <i>im glad my mom died</i> so my expectations for a celebrity memoir are incredibly high. idk i felt disappointed. it also felt like the same points were just being reiterated regarding certain events over and over again, and then other events were barely even discussed.
however, this was incredibly addictive to read, and allowed me a new insight into mother herself. i hope she is living her best life, because god knows she fucking deserves it. queen shit.
