Craft: it’s what we’ve come to expect from ghost-written celeb bios. Simplistic writing, a good job done of making the voice sound like the celeb’s, but not well written by any stretch.
Narrative: holy crap is this a bummer. It’s really tough to read (or hear in the audiobook) what Britney went through not only during the conservatorship but during her youth. This woman needed so much help at every turn and got nothing but neglect and exploitation.
It is a tough read and if I hadn’t had Michelle Williams’ soothing voice as my guide, I wouldn’t have made it to the end.

The writing style isn't flashy, but feels like a conversation, which I think is what this memoir needed. There are sections that are powerful in their starkness.
