I really liked the emotion in this book. I really made me feel for Britney and the things she's gone through.
As someone who didn't really pay much attention to her besides listening to her hits, the insight into her life was really helpful in understanding her breakdown fully. I was never a person who judged her. I remember hearing about her shaving her head and empathizing with her because I could only imagine how horrible it must be to be followed by paparazzi everywhere and always look put together. But through this book I learned that wasn't even the main reason for her breakdown. I didn't even know she had kids at that time. I really liked getting that insight to her life so I could get a full understanding.
I do really empathize with everything that Britney has gone through and the emotions tied to the events in this book were palpable while reading, but I do wish there had been a little more introspection along with them. She did a great job of portraying her emotions but the examinations of them were a little lacking. I wanted to hear her thoughts on why she felt that way and how it connected to how she grew up or previous incidents and those things weren't as present in the book as I would have liked them to be.
Overall, I think this book was a great insight into the life of a hugely successful pop star and how the lack of freedom affected her throughout her life.
