This memoir is not especially detailed,  but it does present the pressure and pain of being forced to live under an abusive conservatorship and make millions of dollars for her family members controlling her. I wish her joy and healing in the future.

What a privilege to be allowed behind the curtain of Britney’s experience. As most of the reviews have said, rating a memoir is a difficult task. I loved hearing more about Britney’s childhood as well as her experience with the conservatorship. Michelle Williams did a phenomenal job bringing Britney’s words to life in the audiobook. I am so proud of Britney for advocating for herself and telling her side. I hope she can do as she wishes now and just be a human.

I waited a long time to read this book, and it was everything I hoped for. I will say that I’m glad I didn’t read a whole lot of reviews beforehand, so I honestly didn’t know what to expect when reading. This is labeled as a memoir, but it reads as more of a stream-of-consciousness in my opinion. 

What Britney went through was absolutely horrific. The book does feature a lot of her story and her history but I don’t think that was the purpose of Britney publishing it. I got the impression that this book was more about using a voice that her conservatorship had suppressed for so long. It was about being able to have feelings in the public eye again, whether or not those feelings were going to be lauded or ridiculed. For somebody that was said to be “crazy” for so long, Britney sure makes some astute comments about her life and situation. She seems very aware that trauma and healing from it is a process that shouldn’t be rushed. She’s also aware that she is still very much discovering pieces of herself for the first time; I love her commitment to seeing that through. 

I hope that writing this helped Britney on her journey to healing, and I absolutely adored the bits at the end where she said she was focusing on peace and gratitude. She deserves both of those things in abundance. I suspect just having her side of the story out there has brought unimaginable peace to her life.
