A review by stargrace
The Woman in Me by Britney Spears

2.0

 Note: The star rating is not for the story itself, or a reflection on her as a person. I did not enjoy the act of reading the book because of the layout / grammar / disjointed thoughts. Her situation is of course horrific, the author obviously went through some traumatic stuff that no one should have gone through. But it was a bad read. It was all over the place, and didn't flow. I felt like I was reading a high school student's diary - which is not necessarily a bad thing, but it was awkward.

She came off as a spoiled immature spiteful entitled person. That was the view I got going in, and going out. She repeats over and over on all the monetary things she does for other people, and at one point even says she dreamed of her family to bowing to her because of what she had provided for them.

Yes, parts of her life have been unfair. Her family were not the best people. She never ever takes responsibility for any of her actions or reactions to these things, and constantly places the blame on what everyone else has done to her.

I'm of course, glad, that her life is finally her own - the conservator should have never ever been a thing. She is perfectly right in the fact that she shouldn't have been forced to perform for others while at the same time being told she was too sick to pick out her own food. That's pretty messed up.

The formatting (or lack there of) and grammar of the book were hard to digest, but I'm sure fans will appreciate its simplicity. It was insightful to hear things from her own perspective, and I hope it brought her a little bit of closure to get it out in the world.
