"At what point did I promise to stay seventeen for the rest of my life?"
I knew this was going to be a tough read, but my god did my heart absolutely break for Britney throughout. She tells her story in such a raw, vulnerable way and it was just so surreal finding out everything that was going on with her that I either only knew about vaguely before or wasn't aware of at all.
It's such an intensely moving and powerful read and, whilst I did find some parts lacking in detail, I can also see that going over everything would have been so traumatic for her and that she probably had to limit certain parts for her own sake. She also weaves in some great commentary on celebrity culture and the music industry and just does such a great job of holding multiple powers and abusers to account and really getting her own story and feelings and self across.
Thank god she's free.
