It makes me sad to read about everything that Britney has been through in her life, especially at the hands of people who were supposed to love and care for her.
Despite the book not being as detailed as it could have been, it was more than enough to show and explain not only everything Britney went through, but how it has impacted her and will continue to affect her.
This book does read almost like a teenage diary, but that is not surprising considering most of the control of her own life started to disappear when she was a teenager. So many opportunities and life experiences were taken away from her and it has definitely left its impact.
