What a read! I knew, in passing, about Britney Spears being under a conservatorship, but never knew how bad it was. The way she detailed her confined life during those 13 years was so heartbreaking. Even in the way she writes, you can feel how much she was stunted in order to be their money bag. It wasn't the best writing; it was the writing of someone with all this anger and sadness and confusion and loneliness, who is finally free and wants the world to know what happened to her.

The treatment of Britney Spears needs to be studied because of how awful and hypocritical it was. Britney who wasn't deemed able enough to be in charge of her own financials yet she was able to perform on stage. Britney who wasn't able to see her sons after taking a break from the music industry yet her ex-husband who's career was taking off was given full custody. Britney who was deemed "out of control partying" after ensuring she had a caregiver for her sons for the night, was able to go on a world tour THAT SHE DIDN'T EVEN WANT TO GO ON.

This book breaks my heart. It's terrible that she had undergo this horrible and unfair treatment at the hands of her own family. I question the licenses of the lawyers and judge who clearly saw the unfair and horrific treatment and yet did nothing to help. I question the whole American judicial system for allowing this to happen and letting it go on for 13 years. How did her family think this was okay and get away with it? Why was she given such unfair treatment when she did everything that they asked for her while she asked for very little. All she wanted was to see her sons and not have them taken away from her over and over again. Why didn't anyone see that and advocate for her? I question everything I've ever been told through the media about this time in Britney's life and I shame the photographers who violated her privacy over and over again during this time.
