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.

Britney has always deserved better treatment than what she got, but hearing her full story from her own perspective, and in details previously unknown, built a whole new level of rage in me against the exploitative and hateful powers around her.

This is so heartbreaking. I can't believe how people can be this cruel because of selfish reasons. 

Her story broke me. I'm a woman and a mother, too, so I can only imagine how hard it must have been to take her children away from her. 

The gaslighting was harsh and it made my blood boil. What horrible things people can do because of money is beyond me. The point where her dad said that he was Britney Spears at that point gave me chills. 

Her life was difficult to say the least. Her faith in humanity is tested a lot of times and it might not have been easy when the people who are supposed to love her are the ones who caused her pain. 

Nonetheless, I'm glad that she got her power and freedom back. She's living her life now. I hope she's truly happy more than ever. 

P. S. I love her song "Lucky" when I was in elementary school and that piece of music is fun and sad at the same time.
