5 Stars

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.
