I enjoyed this book. Especially liked that it was read by Brittney.
I feel so bad for Britney and everything she went through. Thank goodness she got out from under her family. It was like she was locked up for years.

This felt like i was reading a little girls diary. Felt like it was britney herself that wrote it and there was no reviews. I wish she sit with her words a little but what a story ot was and her real life. The abuse she suffered no one deserved it . And her dad should be in jail for all the infantilization he did

I listened to the audio book narrated by Michelle Williams. The writing was very good, the narrating even better. The story is about modern slavery, mental health and it breaks your heart. I think the best celeb memoir I have ever read.
I’m not a huge Britney fan, or even a fan at all, just a casual listener who’s enjoyed a handful of her hits over the years, but I really did enjoy this memoir.
I picked it up for two reasons: one, because I knew it was a hit; many people have read it, enjoyed it, and reported back that it brings the drama; and also because I read Sam Lasky’s novel earlier this year and thought it was very well written, and I wanted to see how he brought Britney’s story to life in The Woman in Me.
I know there are always two sides to every story; I’m not particularly interested in hearing the other sides of the story, such as what Justin Timberlake or Jamie Lynn Spears recount of events is. I am satisfied to just accept that they are just evil people and that Britney doesn’t have any reason to lie about them. She certainly doesn’t come across as someone who’s looking for more attention, instead, just wanting to live the rest of her life peacefully with her family, which, after reading this, is exactly what she deserves.
I think if you’re even remotely interested in Britney Spears, you’d really enjoy this, given that you haven’t read it already. Although I’m not super interested in memoirs, this is a decent, if not standout, example of how to do it well.

Regarding the simplistic, sometimes juvenile writing in this: 1. Britney likely has brain damage from her time on lithium, very sadly. This is not her fault. It’s just likely true. 2. Britney does not have a lot of formal education. That is okay. 3. Reportedly much of this is ghost written. If so, I think the tone of this book is very similar to how she speaks in interviews, to the press, and on social media.
Okay. So. That aside. This tore me apart. I had always known a bit about the free Britney movement, but never watched the documentaries (and after reading her reactions to them, I’m kind of glad I didn’t) I’m just a 30 year old lady who grew up with this woman is a pop idol and knew she had been through a lot, but never knew the specifics.
This brought tears to my eyes several times, and coming to the end feels bittersweet. To be honest, if I were in her shoes, I don’t know if I’d still be here. The fact that she held on to hope for so long is very inspiring. The fact that we still have this amazingly strong woman is a blessing.
Really don’t know what else to say here. Heart-wrenching, beautiful hopeful memoir that really inspired me. I love a good celebrity memoir, and this didn’t disappoint. Watching the Diane Sawyer interview while getting to that part of the memoir was..awful. Diane Sawyer was really disgusting in that interview, but that’s not really new for her sadly.
I kind of want to read Jamie Lynn’s now to see what she says about Britney, as it is briefly mentioned here several times.
Read it, if you’re ready. Many heavy topics discussed, check the trigger warnings cause they come at you hard and fast
