I love Britney so my review will be biased anyway but I genuinely thought this was written very well.
It reignited those feelings of fury and injustice for what she's been through and also made me want to give her a big hug.
Also I 100% recommend listening to the audio version because Michelle Williams is a phenomenal narrator. I genuinely forgot (multiple times) that it wasn't actually Britney narrating the book.
CW: conservatorship, mentions of underage sex, mentions of drug and alcohol use, forced institutionalisation, miscarriage, abortion, mental health issues, abusive family
