theverycraftyvegan 's review for:
The Woman in Me
by Britney Spears
informative
medium-paced
I started listening to Britney’s memoir with an open heart and mind, to learn about her life and experiences. To hear about her childhood, adolescence, and adulthood in her own words.
This is a very dark memoir and it was Britney’s chance to tell her side of the story. She does just that.
I’ve ranked this audiobook so low for a few reasons, but I don’t know how much of that has to do with the fact that I’m not a fan.
Britney clearly struggled at various times in her life, and the people she should have been able to count on let her down repeatedly. But a lot of the things she said from her POV gave me the ick.
I don’t wish ill on Britney, I’m glad she is out of the conservatorship, and I hope she is at peace. I understand from this—and other celebrity memoirs—that being a child star and a celebrity can come with a lot of struggles.
Britney’s life sounds to have been a hard one from a young age and I’m glad she wrote her side of the story for the world. Simply because this wasn’t a memoir I cared about doesn’t mean it was a bad one.
