The Woman in Me by Britney Spears

challenging dark emotional funny inspiring fast-paced

4.5

Britney depicts trauma in a way that is both simple and profoundly tragic. She gives a lot of grace — perhaps too much — to the major game changers in her life, while also allowing herself room to be human. I found myself mourning the life she could have led as an artist and mother, and I am in awe of her strength to plow forward in spite of everything that has been taken from her.

I do wonder how accurate this book is, as I assume it was written by a ghost writer with her input. Some parts feel a little too forgiving of the more egregious crimes. But you can definitely tell it’s her “voice” — that raw, unedited sass and her unrelenting perspective of goodness. It was a quick, touching, and thought-provoking read.
