This was a great read. I highly recommend to anyone that’s a fan, or even if you’re not! Brittany tells her personal story regarding her life and conservatorship. I think her story can help others in similar situations in the future.

I am still thinking about this book weeks after reading it. I admire her so much for taking back control and telling her story. My biggest takeaway from this book and Prince Harry’s is having so much more empathy for celebrities and the scrutiny they live under. There’s so much to be said about ethics, mental health, misogyny, and trauma in these pages, and I think it would make for interesting book club discussion.

Wow, this book was honestly so go and so sad. It made me appreciate Britney and everything she went through and still continues to struggle with.

A book that really makes you think about the celebrity tabloid content produced and consumed every day. Though written simplistically, it's in the author's true voice and that voice has powerful things to say. An emotional read, but it's inspiring that Britney speaks out for herself and retains an optimistic perspective on her future life.
