A review by mari_library
The Woman in Me by Britney Spears

emotional informative inspiring reflective fast-paced
This was an amazing read! When Brittany talked about rebellion and parental control, I felt seen on so many levels. Her positive mindset in talking about other celebrities and her love for her fans. Obviously, it would've been nice to have a more in-depth conversation on what happened. But just what she wrote was enough. It's clear that it's a trigger and something she wants to keep behind her. 
Brittany expresses herself so wonderfully through the book. She's honest on her feelings, on how things were. Though she sounds naive and even a bit too optimistic given the situation - you also see how smart she is. She's aware of the situation, of how the world is viewing her, of the narrative that is being made about her. But she also shows herself honestly. She's not Madonna or other female celebrities that try to show themselves above any men or woman. She's honest on her failings, and even her lack of fighting when it comes to conservatorship. But she also talks about how it was to be in that situation - her beings held against and her literal fight to just stay alive. 
She's also honest about fame and what it means to be famous. The attention and the mental toll it takes. Honestly, this memoir was superb.

With that said, I mean this with all my heart, FUCK JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE.
