A review by kamrynkoble
The Woman in Me by Britney Spears

emotional reflective sad medium-paced

3.5

I’m rating the quality of this as a book, not rating Spears or her story. 

I feel for her. Anyone in the US knows Spears has gone through some difficult circumstances. I’m glad she could share her story in this way, (I hope) on her own terms. 

I wanted more from it. It felt like a teenager’s diary, with summary and shallow reflections. I wonder what the writing process was like, and how it could’ve been with different professionals working alongside her. There’s a lot of “he said, she said” with her family, and I think Spears could have clarified her perspective of events without directly targeting them so much.

I only know a few of Spears’s songs, but I was surprised by how much I knew about her just from looking at tabloids in grocery stores and growing up in the 2000s. I’m glad I read this, and if you’re interested in Spears’s work or life at all, it would be worth a read. The audiobook was well done.
