Wow, some people are actual garbage and I can't believe the actual brainwashing power the media and paparazzi had to make us all feel negative thoughts about Brittany during the 00s. Absolutely disgusting and I hope only good things for Brittany in the future (and a lot of bad karma for her family and the media people, and her awful exs)

I was not the biggest fan of her narration style, which is completely personal and subjective of me to explain. It was not for me

Reading the experiences that Britney Spears went through left me with so much anger, sadness, and frustration for her. It is disgusting how the institutions we have in place, that are supposed to help and keep us safe, are constantly and consistently failing us. There are many heartless people in this world who should die, but death is a kind mercy they do not deserve. 

There are many complaints on the writing in this memoir, which is just focusing on the wrong thing imo, but the narrative tone of voice just sounded very young to me. I found this to be very fitting given the trauma she experienced, specifically in the sense of how trauma effects you neurologically, and it helps you understand just how young she was going through all this.

"I became a robot. But not just a robot—a sort of child-robot. I had been so infantilized that I was losing pieces of what made me feel like myself."

"In that moment, I made peace with my family—by which I mean that I realized I never wanted to see them again, and I was at peace with that."

I really feel for Britney and wish her the best. Some people should never be parents.

I listened to an ASMR audio of this book which was really good. I do however wish Britney had narrated her own book, I think that would’ve made it a five star read for me.
