I just finished reading Britney's memoir and I am speechless. I never thought I would hate Justin Timberlake, Federline, her sister, and her parents as much as I did upon finishing this. They did her wrong. Never bothered with the effects it would have on her life and mental health and treated her as if she were an ATM they needed to gain money from.
Her father went low. He used her, belittled her, and made her work without a break and reaped the awards of his daughter's success. This was not a "fatherly concern" or a "fatherly worry" for his daughter's well-being but he saw dollar signs, a debt paid off, and a comfortable living when he sought to put her in a Conservatorship. He knew that he could force her to work.
I don't believe that Federline ever loved Britney. I think, much like her father, he saw dollar signs and the chance to further his own career without the thought of making Britney happy. This seemed to only further my suspicion when he dangled her kids on a stick while using the Conservatorship against her.
Even her mother and sister banked on her during her darkest times by writing novels to continue to paint Britney as unhinged and in need of help.
Her parents even tossed her into rehab when she would not even do what they wanted. This was a parental unit abusing its power to get what it wanted.
As for Timberlake, my respect for him was never there. I did not care for him even when he was NSYNC and when he went on his own solo career. He always seemed to come off as a cheater and an asshole and this book sort of confirms what I have always felt.

Final Thought:
While this book is short, it does offer you a glimpse into Britney's world. Her life under Conservatorship, the "unhinged" events of her shaving her head, and the darkness that filled her life. Britney proves she is resilient and strong as she continues to carve a place in this world.
