I feel for poor Britney. Hope that now she's been freed from the conservatorship she can heal & be happy.

I was not fond of a few comments Britney Spears (or her ghostwriter) made in regards to the fellow attendees of several of the groups and institutions she was forced to attend. It is reasonable to harbor a grudge against those groups, institutions, and her family. It is not really reasonable to write about the other attendees like they were all dangerous animals. However this does encapsulate the fear she talks about having during this time and maybe she meant to show the reader and listener that fear with those comments. 
Michelle Williams does a fantastic job showing the dry wit in the narritive as well as the turbulent emotions. The introduction being read by Britney herself was a very special touch. Fans of Britney throughout her career will be very engaged with this and also horrified. The casual reader may not feel quite so fondly and want to hold their judgment but they will still have an engaging read.

The book itself is not well written, however, I do feel like listening to it on audio helps the book read better. With Michelle Williams, the conversational style of the book comes through more clearly. With that said, this was still a powerful book, because it’s what Britney chose to use to tell her story. It’s worth the read for anyone who was or is a fan of Spears, it reminds us there is a human behind the celebrity.
