Not hardcover.

I searched this booked and chose a hardcover, I received the book as a paperback. Not what the description said.

Free at last

It started out slow, was slightly boring in the middle but the last third of the book was OMG. This poor woman. We tend to always see the celebrity lifestyle as striking and amazing, but what she went through was far from amazing. Some say she played the victim, well, she was the victim. Some say it had too much negative, did you get to the end of the book? I thought it was a good read overall

Wow just Wow! I just loooovvveeed it!

I absolutely loved this book! Growing up in the late 90s and early 2000s, I was never a fan per-say. I listened to her music when it was on (never changed it because it always had a good beat) and I remember seeing all those tabloids, interviews, and horrible things that were said about her. I remember then thinking that poor girl. Obliviously I had no clue what was truly going on with her, but my heart just went out to her. Now that I have read The Woman in Me, my heart just breaks even more for her on so many levels. I'm so proud of her and the woman she has become! When it comes to narcissistic parents and gaslighting I could relate. Obviously not on a star level but everything she spoke of I could understand how she felt and why she done some of the things she done. It was such an easy read; I enjoyed the short chapters. The timeline could get a lil jumpy at times, but I know memories can flood together and one even can trigger another memory that needs to be related to. 10 out of 10 I highly recommend!

Meh!!!

I felt like this was a poor me book! She only talked about all the bad and nothing positive.

Poor Poor Britney

I think BS paints herself as a victim . I also think she tried to do some damage to her exes with the things she wrote. Her family may have been trying to protect her from herself and her serious mental illness. But they did appear to take some opportunities while they were at it.

Easy read but keeps you in

I was eager to read this to get Britney's side of the story. It is an easy read but a very good read. I found myself not wanting to put it down. It's just unbelieve how her family did what they did and how much suffering she went through during everything. At the end of the book, I found myself sad for her. It's a sad story and how really she never had a chance based on how her family is before she was even born. I am happy she is finding her own happiness and finally at a place now to make the changes she wants.

Lifelong Britney fan!

It was great to get the story from Britney’s perspective on what all she has been through. It was an easy read and I had a hard time putting it down. I was surprised at how many of the traumas that Britney has been through that I could identify with in this book, considering I’m not a record breaking female pop star. I’m truly happy that she made this book to set the record straight and clear up all the rumors and opinions that others have spoken on and published books about. I love how much she spoke about the realities of mental health struggles while enduring so much trauma and heartbreak at various times of her life. I was also excited to see that she’s been promoting the book herself through social media and opted out of big interviews and mainstream media attention… Considering the trauma these entities have caused her (which she details in the book) it’s no wonder she said “no thanks” and it honestly makes me want to promote and support her book even more.
