Earlier I commented that this isn’t well written, but I want to amend that. My usual genre is literary fiction, which is a different tier of writing. But, this is raw and vulnerable. To go through everything recounted here and come out the other side strong enough to tell your story is commendable. Too much polish would take away from that. You would lose some of the emotional truth. 

Admittedly, I don’t follow celebrity gossip. It’s never been something that interests me. Because of that I didn’t know about a lot of things Spears writes about. Her story reads like fiction. Every time I thought things couldn’t get worse, they did. Honestly, by the time I finished, I just wanted to give her a hug and tell her things will get better and that she’s worthy. 

I don’t read many memoirs, but I enjoyed this one a lot. Yes, I’m a Britney fan so I’m biased in that sense, but I appreciate the accessibility of the writing and the lack of pretension. I have a heightened respect for Britney after reading this. I hope she’s finally able to live her life and take care of herself.
