Welp... about as expected. Connection with her only in her early days which was the best part of the book as well. Feel bad for many of the situations her and those robbed and stunted in/from development. the second half, winy and blah.

I just wanted to give Britney a big hug after her breakup with JT, and at several other points in her story

Read this after being recommended by coworkers! A quick-paced, engaging memoir! It is certainly not the best writing, but the writing seems authentic to Britney. The authenticity within the writing was pivotal to the “enjoyment” of reading it. The struggles Britney details throughout the book are devastating and emotional, but her story provides an aspirational example of resilience, hope, and faith. I hope to continue seeing her on a healing path

So I‘m not a big Britney fan, but I enjoy audio memoirs for my commute. I enjoyed hearing her background and her story of her conservatorship. It was insane what her father did to her, and no one should have to endure this level of control from another adult. She seemed very naive for much of her life. I‘m glad she‘s free of that and hope she can rebuild her life in a positive way. Overall a pick for me #freebritney

It sickens me how Britney was treated by the people who she should have been able to trust the most. It baffles me how they got away with it for so long. The second half of this book reads like a horror story.

As a memoir, this left a lot to be desired in terms of writing and organisation, but I'm glad that Britney has spoken her truth.

My heart goes out to her.

I definitely have a new respect for Britney. I‘ve never been a big fan but obviously been aware of everything that has ensued in her life whether it was good or bad. I liked that this book gave her a voice and a platform to really talk about what was happening in her life. I couldn‘t imagine growing up and having a family treat you like hers did. Just disgusting! I hope she heals from all this and finds happiness. Good quick read!

If you are (or ever were) a Britney fan, was curious about the conservatorship, saw any of her IG posts, I recommend that you read her book. What everyone did to her is heartbreaking. I mean this was Britney-effing-Spears. They never should‘ve had the power that they did. Britney is stronger than any of us could ever imagine. 🌹 🌹🌹🌹

Reading this gave me a much better appreciation for the considerable amount of bs Britney Spears has been through and the level of resilience she must possess to have come out of her experiences with any degree of normalcy. Perfectly narrated by Michelle Williams.

The autobiography from one of the most successful female artists of the twenty-first century. I have to say that I was never a big Britney fan, I liked some of her songs & I also vaguely knew that there was some beef between her & Justin Timberlake at one point, but that was about the extent of it.

Reading this, Britney has obviously gone through some terrible experiences at the hands of those who should have loved & protected her, (continued)

OutsmartYourShelf but the book itself is not good reading. I think she could have gone into the issues of being a child star a lot more, & the effects that has on them growing up. It feels very surface level & it's just terribly written. It's a great shame as Britney's story needed telling. 3⭐

Super sad to hear a lot more about what Britney Spears went through in her life and how mistreated she was. It‘s a really heartbreaking story, but it‘s satisfying to hear about what she overcame and how positive she is about the future. I really enjoyed this and am hopeful for her and her family.

Michelle Williams did a phenomenal job narrating the book, it really felt like Britney was retelling her story. I couldn‘t stop listening and was so upset when it ended! I‘m a huge fan of reading physical books, but in this case you have to go with the audiobook. It‘s an experience that shouldn‘t be missed.

This was a great book to get a good perspective on her life from her. She was honest and more graceful than I would have been in her shoes. If you have any curiosity in her situation and life, then this is a good book for you.

This is not at all a comment about her life and all of the BS she has been through, because really, it is all very tragic. But there was just something that was off. I cannot put my finger on it.

I recommend instead, listening to the Celebrity Memoir Bookclub podcast episode about this book.

I was really on the fence about reading this one. I‘m the same age as Britney, so I could relate to what was going on during her rise. It was very choppy, I felt like this was a diary written by a 12-year-old. It was hard to read, both because of the writing,and because of how traumatic her life has been. I hope she has found peace and will continue to fight for what SHE wants, she very much deserves the life SHE wants to live. Book #23 in 2024

I'm not even going to rate this one, because if anyone deserves to tell her story in whatever way she wants, it's this woman. My word, what she's been through. I'm glad she was able to tell her story. I read this one with my earholes, and Michelle Williams was a fantastic narrator. Beautifully read.

It‘s very rare to see a true “pan” from me, but here you go. This book is a train wreck. I agree that Brit is probably in many ways a victim, both of her family and of the media, but I also think she‘s got some issues she‘s brought on herself. But regardless of all that, the actual writing in this memoir was truly awful. I don‘t understand the higher reviews. Was there no one editing this thing??

It is hard to review this book, I grew up such a HUGE Britney fan and it was hard to get a glimpse of how hard things were for her from her perspective. That said, it‘s only her perspective so I want to take some of these stories with a grain of salt. I‘m pulling for her everyday and will always be team Britney!

It feels awful to say I loved this because it‘s so heartbreaking. Michelle Williams does a hell of a job! I knew it was going to be sad but Britney does not hold back. It is a crime what her family and the paparazzi put her through. I can‘t stop thinking about it. As soon as I finished, I wanted to go right back to beginning and read it all over again!

KLyn1 I'm listening to on audio - almost done and I can't tell you how many times I've been shocked by what her family did to her. Dang!! 9mo

I was never a fan of Brittany‘s music, and I wouldn‘t have read this book had a friend not literally put it in my hand. But now that I‘ve read it, I‘m glad that I did. I remember some of the events she mentions in this book, when they happened; I remember seeing the photos on magazines everywhere. She went through a lot. A family that abused and exploited her as a child, as an adolescent, and as an adult. This book reads like a child wrote it.⬇️

JenniferEgnor Brittany‘s inner child is still there, and she just wants to be loved. She wasn‘t allowed to be a child, she was just exploited. That continued on into her adolescence. And when she was an adult, her father treated her like property. Her own person was stolen from her again. There is no shortage of misogyny within these pages. This is her story of what she went through, and how she came out on the other side of it. 9mo

I loved hearing Britney‘s experiences from her point of view. So heartbreaking and infuriating all at once. The only issue I had was that it felt like teen Britney wrote the whole thing. I didn‘t feel like her thought process changed much throughout her life until she finally took a stand at the end. I definitely feel for her and loved the book. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Media is about selling…doesn‘t matter if it‘s papers, books, music, movies…or people. I‘m not saying that Britney is an innocent victim, but that there were a lot of people who sold her out & made money off of her WAY before her family stole her freedom.

I must admit that this month‘s book club pick is not one that I would have picked up on my own… though familiar with Spears & her life from supermarket tabloid covers, I have never owned one of her albums or anything. And yet, somehow, this very quick read didn‘t actually contain much that I didn‘t already know… simply written, this gives voice to her life, hardships and heartbreaks but without real depth. Interested to hear what the group says!

Continued …… I‘m sorry to say for me I just didn‘t grasp it , I the the. Ghost writer has done her a huge disservice of playing on “childlike “ narration any how to most a very sad memoir where you now hope she‘s a free woman and can just live her life and enjoy the fruits of her labour and stick a finger up to the world who tried to bring her down

Like the majority of people u have enormous respect for Britney Spears and how shockingly awful she‘s been treated by the media by the public by agents but most of all her own family ; some families where fame and money is involved are purely toxic, anyway she does rightly have a story to tell and put her point across but ….👆

Listened to this one over audio. It‘s incredibly sad to listen to all the Britney endured. From her traumatic childhood through her traumatic young adult life. It‘s good to know that she is free & able to make decisions for herself. I like many others saw the head shaving incident & had the wrong idea of what was really going on in her life. Hopefully she can continue to live her life on her terms & build her relationship with her kids. #bookspin

ncsufoxes Although the book isn‘t perfect I understand the rush for her to get her side of the story out. #nonfiction2024 prompt: Looking for Alaska (Britney was seen that chaotic girl, but sadly her mental health was on the decline & impacting her life) 10mo

This was just really sad. For her family to treat her the way they did! Just kept thinking how different things could have been for her had she had a supportive family. She was in such a vulnerable place and had no-one on her side. Misogyny abounds. I‘d definitely recommend going the audio route with this. #nonfiction2024 (the handmaid‘s tale)

BethM As a woman who myself was knocked on my ass by postpartum my heart absolutely broke for how she was treated. No one can understand how scary of a mental place that is if they haven‘t been there. Then for the reaction to be oh she cray instead of let‘s get this brand new mom help is horrifying. 10mo
