This book is eye opening, heartbreaking, and honest. Britney doesn’t narrate the whole audiobook, just the prologue, which is understandable. She even mentioned it would have been too hard to read. Mad respect.
This story was genuine. I could practically hear Britney’s voice (even listening to Michelle William’s excellent narration) throughout the book.
Some of my key takeaways and thoughts:
(1) Britney had a rough childhood. No, her family isn’t perfect…no family is…but it speaks to the times amd how families were years ago which is unfortunate. I haven’t and still don’t think very highly of her family. I know there are two sides of the story but dang…family shouldn’t act that way. Looking at you Lynn and Jamie Lynn. You should have done better. Way better. Not even going there with her dad.
(2) Justin is not innocent. Being a man in the music industry, he got away with ALOT. Not surprised though. Again, there are two sides to every story and I respect that but I can’t see past the unfair treatment. Really Justin…a text message break up!? And the Cry Me A River video!? The shaming narrative you created?? Not cool dude. I know he apologized a long time ago but he really should come forward again and address this.
(3) Shame on Kevin (K-Fed). He used Britney for fame. He also used her kids against her.
(4) Britney is goofy and unique. I have always known that and I love love love that about her. She also addresses some of her more recent Instagram posts and that made me look at things differently.
I keep seeing that people wanted more from Britney and this book…why!?!? This woman lays out everything. She handles it with grace and even provided perspective and will call out when she was wrong!
Again, I can “hear” her words and her story. This doesn’t feel made up or dishonest. The details of major events are spot on. Everything lines up in my eyes.
Kudos to Britney for stepping forward and telling her story. I am sorry you went through all of this. You are strong. You are incredible. Most people wouldn’t be here, alive, after this type of control and this type of life.
I am a Britney supporter always.

Popular Highlights in this book
There have been so many times when I was scared to speak up because I was afraid somebody would think I was crazy. But I’ve learned that lesson now, the hard way. You have to speak the thing that you’re feeling, even if it scares you. You have to tell your story. You have to raise your voice.Highlighted by 3,100 Kindle readers- I feel like a lot of women—and this is definitely true of me—can be as strong as they want to be, can play this powerful role, but at the end of the day, after we’ve done our work and made our money and taken care of everyone else, we want someone to hold us tight and tell us everything’s going to be okay.Highlighted by 2,428 Kindle readers

The only memoir I'd ever read
Ive always been a Britney fan since I was a child. The very first CD I ever owed was her baby one more time album. I'm was so elated to finally be able to read her story. I devoured this book in just under 4 hours without putting it down once. There has always been a light around Britney, she's mesmerizing. Every celebrity always speaks about her kindness. After all that she has been through she's still held onto her kind demeanor. I cried a few times and felt very empathic of her pain, over not being able to see her children when her divorce was happening. The mental breakdown was heartbreaking. I hope she is able to mend the bridge with her sons. If anything to take away from the book is that even at her darkest hour her children were always her number one.There is obviously a lot trauma and abuse she went through at all ages of life, but the stages of conservatorship was hard to read through. Yes, she may have been spiraling during 2007-2008, but her family took advatage of the situation. Instead of getting her on the right path and really helping her get her life right and kids back, they basically made her a prisoner and only viewed her as their cash cow. Trusting the wrong people was always her biggest downfall. She has such a big heart and the betrayal from all sides she endured was crazy. If I were her I wouldn't talk to my family ever again either, especially her father and mother. From her childhood stories alone, they are the ones that needed therapy. Jamie Lynn just sounds so spoiled and self entitled. She acted oblivious to what was really going on with her sister, and just kept riding the gravy train. Even though she complained about what Britney had given her family so she could have a better childhood than the one Britney grew up in. Her mother Lynn has zero parenting skills. She is just one of those parents who push their kids to become trophy children, so she could live through their accomplishments, reap the benefits, and accolades that comes with it, due to her own life failures. It's extremely sad. Her dad is just the absolute worst human being ever, and the things he did to her over the last 13 years is simply cruel and unimaginable.There is a lot more to her story than just the bad. I found some chapters very light and funny. She talks about her early childhood, other family members, finding fame, relationships, tours, performances, and also expresses things she wishes she had done differently in her first few years of fame. I'm still reeling from her Chicago role turn down. One of my favorite movies, and Britney would have crushed it. Overall a very good read.
