This Memoir was a long time coming. We all remember the news reporting on how âcrazyâ Britney was and how âout of controlâ she was acting. Now we are able to take a glimpse into her side of the story. The writing style is simple which for me, became monotonous at times. Even though Britney used a ghostwriter, it sounds very much like her real voice. Overall, I did enjoy it. I was curious to see what she had to say, since she has been silenced for over thirteen years. I am glad that she is finally able to have her voice heard.  I gave this three stars. Very quick read.
I listened to this in one day and it was not only because I was marathon preparing for New Year’s Eve but because this book is captivating. I loved Britney Spears when I was a kid. I distinctly remember having her first two CDs and listening to them on repeat on my Walkman (wow that statement makes me sound way older than I am). I didnt stay a super fan though so when the story of her conservatorship came around a few years ago, I didn’t really have any context. This memoir is eye opening. Like a lot of the celebrity memoirs I’ve read, it’s crazy to hear all the inner workings of their life because all we see is what is shared in the spotlight. Knowing what she was going through during the times of Me belting out ‘oops! I did it again’ in my bedroom is pretty mind boggling. This is an incredible read in a lot of ways and you do not need to be a Britney fan to appreciate it or to take something away from it.
It was nice to hear from Britney in her own words. There were parts of the book that were very interesting (like her relationships with Timberlake and Fenderline), but others that just rambled on about the same thing.
