This poor woman. If you are in any way a Britney Spears fan, and even if you're not, this is important to read. She is literally treated like the protagonist of THE YELLOW WALLPAPER. If we lock her up, we can do whatever we want. Heartbreaking.

I am still thinking about this book weeks after reading it. I admire her so much for taking back control and telling her story. My biggest takeaway from this book and Prince Harry’s is having so much more empathy for celebrities and the scrutiny they live under. There’s so much to be said about ethics, mental health, misogyny, and trauma in these pages, and I think it would make for interesting book club discussion.

An incredibly sad story and I could feel her need to have her story heard for the first time ever. There were so many injustices done to this woman and I'm so sad that as a young teen I was one of those that felt "too embarrassed" to like Britney Spears. I'm still appalled that this can be done to anyone at all but even more to someone as successful and famous as Britney. 

As for the writing, I'm not too familiar with the memoir genre so I can't necessarily compare this to other books of the same genre but the writing does feel fragmented and a bit too basic, especially knowing a ghostwriter was used for this. Her story definitely deserved a bit more attention paid to the writing.

Excellent audiobook though, with Michelle Williams' narration shining through all the funny and emotional bits.
