The book was actually a quick when I sat down to read it. But it hard for me to do it because it was literally no challenge to my brain. It was written on an elementary level. I did expect to be more scatter-brained than it was, so that was a nice surprise. I liked that I got to see Britney as a quirky silly woman instead of a crazy druggy alcoholic that everyone made her out to be in the 2000's. She just likes to have fun and be herself. I do wish we got to read more about her career instead of JUST the drama. Where were the pictures?!?!?!

This book was amazing. It was well written, organized & it seemed Britney poured her soul into it. It's so sad what she went through & I hope she used this book as a way to help heal herself.

I really liked the idea of this book, and have been a big Britney fan since high school. However, this was a tough read for me as it seemed like something someone in middle school wrote. There were some inconsistencies in her stories as well.  All that said, I truly believe it is caused by years of confinement and probably being medicated when she didn’t need it.  I’m so glad she was finally able to get out from under the thumb of her family.  I hope she truly loves how she wants to now, and is happy for the rest of her days.

A harrowing, painful, yet sweet and chipper dive into the mind of one of this generation's great pop queens. The story we needed to have told all these years of controversy and gossip, an inside glance at her career and adventures – and yes, Blackout IS her greatest album, I'm glad I agree with the author – which determines a definite skip forward in the cultural moment and the way we look at celebrities.

The book is a first-person account of Britney Spears' real-life journey through her conservatorship, which granted her father complete and total control on everything she did: what she ate, what she wore, how she did her job and how, or if, she was allowed to see her family. The singer is institutionalized and forced to take prescription drugs.
