This five star rating is a huge surprise to me. I didn’t know anything much about her aside from the tabloid headlines (never listened to her music). Really glad u read this book. She’s overcome a lot. I probably would’ve crumbled. Made me proud of her and also inspired me to be clearer about my priorities and boundaries. I hope the world will leave her alone and let her be, and I hope her parents, sister, and Kevin all experience very painful and elongated suffering.

Unexpectedly, a very powerful read.
I very rarely read celebrity memoirs but I've always had a certain affection for Britney Spears. This was really hard to read at times but also felt empowering because I deeply resonated with some of her unfortunate experiences. For the first time, maybe ever, I truly felt like I was not the only woman in pain and terribly traumatized who had to learn how to survive and build herself a place in this world.

This poor woman. If you are in any way a Britney Spears fan, and even if you're not, this is important to read. She is literally treated like the protagonist of THE YELLOW WALLPAPER. If we lock her up, we can do whatever we want. Heartbreaking.
