The Woman in Me by Britney Spears

 The Woman in Me by Britney Spears-287 pages

⭐⭐⭐⭐


Britney Spears tells all in this memoir of her life so far. It is both fascinating and heartbreaking to read her account of the events in her past. I found the section about her relationship and falling out with Justin Timberlake to be one of the most fascinating sections. She's right that women are held to a different standard than men. It seems Justin Timberlake (and so many others) could sleep around and be wild and have fun with no consequences. However, Britney Spears didn't do these things nearly to the same extent and was labeled wild. Some of these events led to her conservatorship by her father. The most harrowing section is her recounting her time in the conservatorship. She details many of the events during these 13 years and I can see why she is upset at her parents. I'm glad she finally was able to get out of that situation. 

It does at times read a bit like a teenager's journal, but it is still a pretty good read. There are definitely some interesting revelations.

The Woman in Me by Britney Spears

The Woman in Me by Britney Spears, 277 pages

​I didn't read this book for salacious details; I read it to hear about Britney's struggles in her own words.  This is a powerful read. It begins innocuously enough, but before long, the story takes on unbearable weight. Britney's candor, coupled with her rawness and humor, paint an indelible picture.
