Brittney recounts her life, career, and the control she suffered under her father's control during her conservatorship. While I'm so glad Brittney is able to speak her truth and get her side of the story out there, something just felt lacking to me. It wasn't as introspective as I'm Glad My Mom Died or Spare. Similar to Paris Hilton's memoir, it reads very much like a woman setting the record straight. But unlike Paris, Brittney hasn't had time and distance to really begin the healing process, since this book was written and released within a year of the conservatorship ending. I'd like to see her thoughts on everything in a few years after the dust has settled and the wounds have closed.
