Oy, this was heartbreaking. I really only got this b/c Michelle Williams was reading it and I love her. I don't typically read memoirs, much less celebrity ones.
Britney Spears is one of the most recognizable people on the planet. She's lived a life in the public eye and most people could tell you her story. She's never really told her story though. Here in this book she gets into it.
You get a sense of the type of sweet soul Britney is. Not really dumb, but maybe naive and innocent and thinks in a way that others don't. She talks about her life and all the drama that's happened in a way that makes it hard to feel anything but sympathy for her. The conservatorship, her relationships, and her family are all on the table and she paints a picture that's believable and makes you want to fight for her.
I did appreciate that she owns her mistakes, clarifies some of her odd behaviors, and seems like a genuinely sweet soul. By the end of the book, you'll end up rooting for her too. Michelle Williams does a sensational job narrating. It's worth a listen, but be prepared to be heartbroken.
