I cannot believe she went through all of this, not many people would have coped like she did, she is a fighter, very strong willed and I'm very proud of her recovery and on everything she did to fight her father on all of that abuse! I'm so glad that she decided to step down and finally do and create her life as she pleases!! Britney you deserve it, you deserve this time, this is your chance to do all the things you want to do! I would support you 110% on anything! You are a Queen! ♥ Sending lots of love and light you're way!!

I have a hard time rating memoirs because it feels like rating a person’s life. There’s a lot I liked about the straightforwardness of her memoir, but also some of it felt more self-help than necessary and it lacked some nuance/pacing. Giving this a generous 3.5/5 rounded to 4. I think worth reading to get a better understanding of early 2000s pop culture that permeates today.

I'm not going to give this a star rating because I don't believe it's fair to rate people's lives and personal experiences.

However... this book is not well written. It's super choppy and all over the place. Which I guess makes sense given Britney's experiences. All the "juicy" stuff was released prior to the release. I honestly wish I hadn't wasted my time reading this... at least it was short.

Michelle Williams did a great job narrating though.

She was gaslit and gate kept, but girl boss Britney overcame. Loved listening to the audio.
