It was pretty interesting, learning about what goes on behind closed doors is always somewhat of an attractive theme. It was a very light and quick read, the book talks to the audience in a casual tone making it a calm and easy read. We are pushed to feel sympathetic towards Britney and we are shown how fame can be a double edged sword especially in terms of freedom, relationships and autonomy. She describes her loss of self, the identity crisis she experiences and her road to self discovery through Religion, self respect and growth.

Typically, I'm pretty selective about which celebrity memoirs I'm interested in. I was definitely interested in Britney's.

Britney was a central figure of girlhood for me, like most kids growing up in the 90s and aughts. I'm fascinated (and saddened) by her story. I really appreciate that she could tell it for herself finally (though, I'm assuming, with a ghost writer).

There was a lot I found relatable in this book, as someone who also grew up affected by generational trauma. I can only begin to imagine the mental toll that being a global celebrity at a time when the media was so incredibly hard on celebrities (especially girls and women) has taken on Britney. She might not even understand the full gravity of it yet...

Not to say the book lacked depth; there was definitely vulnerability there. But I think it could have been longer, maybe a little more detailed. I'd love to read more by her someday, if she has more to tell!

This book really made me think about everything related to being a celebrity to the level that Britney is. It brings up some of the lesser spoken about (to my knowledge) parts of it all, like how aggressive paparazzi can be.

I personally didn't know much about her before I read this book, but I vaguely do remember seeing some of the #freeBritney stuff and hearing some things about her. But having now read this book it makes me quite curious about some of her music.

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 didn’t know much about Britney Spears before the book, never really listened to her music etc. But now i have so much sympathy for her and what she’s been through.

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.
