[Cheryl R · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

If she never wants to do music again I'd understand. She needs this time just for herself

[mothgoth · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

With everything she's been through, Brittney can eat/wear/do whatever she wants, she deserves it. Great to hear all of this story from her perspective.

Getting to actually understand what Britney went through at the hands of her own family is heartbreaking. I fully understand where she’s coming from after reading this.

[muzalakapihya4 · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Brilliant! Britney is strong. I can't even imagine 13 years of heartbreak, made a prisoner by her own family. I'm sorry I judged you all those years. Live your best life. You are free.

If there was a ghost writer involved, you don't see it. Reads like Britney. An authentic and unapologetic memoir that doesn't gloss over anyone, not even herself. Heartbreakingly real! & Michelle Williams is perfect in that after a point you don't even hear her anymore - what you hear is Britney.

[Alison Ross · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

I’ve not been a Britney fan and thought I’d give this book a try, oh my word this had had me emotional with tears, anger and empathy for Britney, so strong and brave to fight and come out the other side.

[Tosia Kumor · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

The book was truly something deeply real and rough to hear. I'm happy I got the chance to learn what happened and hear the perspective of a person that was kept silent for such a long time!

[NursyamsiahBintShamsuddin · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Made me view the world differently, and glad that Britney Spears got to tell her side of the story. I wish all the best things in life to her. She deserves all the happiness and loves.

This book made me cry more than once. Always and forever #TeamBritney.

[Yvette Bonett · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

I can totally understand why Britney couldn't narrate this audiobook, would have been too emotional! You can also here the emotion in Michelle William's voice while narrating, which she did a great job of. There were several instances where I cried & not because I'm an actual fan; I listen to Rock, Blues & others....but I have always admired Britney's musical talent & her dance performances. Her experience was like a story you see in a horror movie, Being told she'll be taken to court if she doesn't obey, or punishing her by keeping her away from her sons, who she clearly adores! She was betrayed so many times with the paparazzi & media manipulating every detail. I could never comprehend how paparazzi are allowed to stalk & violate every privacy rule, in such an invasive way!  Do celebrities have to pay that price just because they entertain us with movies & music!? same as the questions some of the talk show hosts used to ask Britney! appaling. She was clearly always an easy target because of her sweet & kind nature. Near the end she mentions her posts on  Instagram, which I haven't seen,  but it seems sad that she's trying to get outside approval that way, after being controlled all her life! This book is Britney's journey from a sweet kid full of dreams & talent, to fame, manipulation, betrayal, pain, 'imprisonment', faith & strength to stand back on her own 2 feet, & save her 'little heart' as she describes it! I hope she will eventually get through and really be at peace.....

Such an eye opener into the life of a star! Such a brave woman

[Rachel · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

Fabulous read. Wonderfully written and read. An eye opening horrifying look at the greed and misogyny that has plagued Britney her entire life. I hope she finds the strength to hold her family responsible for the damage they caused her.

[gizzycastle · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Thank you for sharing your story and your life with us Britany. It was truly heartbreaking. While listening to your story I just wanted to give you the biggest hug as I am sure all your readers wanted to do the same. How cruel. How can someone have so much power and control over your life. And who is supposed to love you unconditionally feel that this is ok. I am so sorry for what you have endured. You are a strong woman Britney. And I am so glad I had the opportunity to listen to your story. Thank you

[Chloe Devlin · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Beautiful and heartbreaking. Loved hearing her story. Hope she is at peace now and healing from the trauma of all of this.

[Cherise · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Wow! I am so glad that Britney was able to tell her story for the world to know what she endured. This was beautiful memoir and I loved every minute of it.

[Lynn Anne · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

4.5 stars ? "I get to eat chocolate again."
This book brought tears to my eyes. Britney Spears is one of the most resilient people ever. So many people failed her. The whole world owes her an apology. I hope for nothing but the best for her.

The writing was a little difficult to get into in the very beginning but once you get into it, you get immersed. This was so heartbreaking and made me shed tears a couple of times. Her family is truly truly vile.

[Crimson's Whispering Books · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

I know I have put 5 stars but I honestly do not think biographies should be rated because we are listening to someone's life and that can never be rated.

Listening to this story of Britney Spears was upsetting hearing all she has gone through since she was a child till now, ? ? ? ?... I never would have thought for one moment that her life was like that but why would I or anyone?!!

All we know of fandom most of us is how fabulous it looks and how much money you must have etc etc, but hearing the other side of what so many mistake as greener pastors is eye-opening.

So glad Britney can be free and find herself
All.the way though this I just wanted to give her the biggest hug ? I could

[Caca Estella · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Beautiful memor❤️. Breaks my heart to hear her story. Britney is a strong woman.

[britto.ellen · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Intense, and sad (thankfully with a happy ending obviously). But good to hear Britney’s story from her own words, not someone’s interpretation of it. A Must listen.

[Louise · Rating: 1 out of 5 stars]

I was a big Britney Spears fan when I was a teen and I was hoping this book would clear things up and be honest. However, it only tries to picture Britney as a victim and that everywhere she went people were just out to get her. When you are always the victim in every situation, maybe you are the problem and should work on it. She had enough money to get the right advise and right people around her to have prevented at least half of the crap where she just pretends to be a victim. I do feel pitty for her that her parents weren't there for her to support her when things went wrong. Somewhere along the way one should at least be able to be honest with one self and of you write a memoir for your 'beloved fans' at least be honest with them also.
