The Woman In Me by Britney Spears (narrated by Michelle Williams)
☀️☀️☀️

▪️A brief inside look at the life of Britney Spears, who has been silenced for most of her fascinating and difficult life 
▪️The memoir covers Britney's life from early childhood and the beginnings of her career through to now. The breadth of content is at war with the length of this book, which consistently feels rushed and glossed over without enough detail to emotionally connect with the subject matters at hand
▪️ Learning the details of the conservatorship was the most powerful and difficult portion of the memoir to listen to, but there were several heartbreaking segments that illustrate what a difficult life Britney has led in and out of the spotlight 
▪️The writing style was incredibly basic and quite repetitive, and for many key moments there was a distinct lack of context and detail. I think Britney's ghostwriter owed her more help with the writing and structure of the book. Williams' narration was decent but not overly emotional, due in part to the writing style 
▪️I am a big supporter of Britney and the awful things she's gone through, but this memoir left me wanting more.

"I wanted to hide, but I also wanted to be seen. Both things could be true."
