Britney Spears has been through more than a person should have to. To be exploited and abused by the people who are supposed to love you unconditionally is horrific. Michelle Williams is a wonderful narrator. This book was very focused on the conservatorship and I think was probably a way of her processing her trauma.
This book is not well written. The story is fascinating and heart wrenching but it is repetitive. If you are looking for a polished and wonderfully eloquent memoir, this is not for you. If you want to hear the story of Britney, FROM Britney, buckle in. This woman has had a rough go and her coming out the other end and being able to smile again is a testament to what a strong woman she is.
