I had no idea how badly she was treated by her own family. Particularly her father, who clearly took advantage of her for his own benefit.

I give it 5 starts because of the courage it took to survive the conservatorship and the courage it took to tell her story. I am happy for Britney, that she if finally free and re-learning to live her life.

That was a quick listen and five hours of my life I will never get back.

It was good. I feel like she isn’t always a 100% reliable narrator. However, she was treated horribly and taken advantage of by so many, especially her father. She needs to have better taste in men.

sawatsky's review against another edition
It is not my place to rate this woman's story but I am glad to have read it. This isn't a piece you read because of the literary prowess but to be able to hear a woman get her voice back. There are substantive critiques of the writing, the rambling, the way she bounces around and a general "stream of consciousness" style of storytelling. There are probably plenty of questions left unanswered, holes in the narrative while there are odd details included that don't seem to add.
This isn't a book you read for the writing. It is a book you read to show support of an author, a victim of trauma, exploitation and abuse the people in her life who were supposed to love her. Read it for perspective and empathy. Heck, read it to know you are better off in the life you lived. I genuinely hope that, through her experience, big changes will come to how conservative ships are started and maintained.

I don’t know how to rate this book. I was never really a fan of her music but I feel that this human needs her voice heard. I feel like a lot of people took advantage of her. I feel there may still be some mental health concerns going on. The author is speaking her truth. She is using her voice which seems to have been silenced for some time. It was not great work of art but I can tell writing this book was healing for her. There are always multiple to sides to a story. I am glad she gets to tell side, it’s just sad that she has too. The entertainment industry chews up and spits out young people. It’s disgusting.

There was so much I didn’t know or understand about Britney. I’m so glad she wrote this book to tell her story. Her first album was my first CD, and I always found her so talented. This book just solidified to me that she is a queen
