"At what point did I promise to stay seventeen for the rest of my life?"

I knew this was going to be a tough read, but my god did my heart absolutely break for Britney throughout. She tells her story in such a raw, vulnerable way and it was just so surreal finding out everything that was going on with her that I either only knew about vaguely before or wasn't aware of at all. 

It's such an intensely moving and powerful read and, whilst I did find some parts lacking in detail, I can also see that going over everything would have been so traumatic for her and that she probably had to limit certain parts for her own sake. She also weaves in some great commentary on celebrity culture and the music industry and just does such a great job of holding multiple powers and abusers to account and really getting her own story and feelings and self across. 

Thank god she's free.

Ich bin froh es gelesen zu haben. Nicht unbedingt, weil es gut geschrieben ist, auf deutsch funktioniert es nicht so gut. Es geht auch wenig um Britneys Karriere und Erinnerungen an ihren Weg als Popikone. Sondern um ihre Perspektive zu erzählen zu all den Klatsch und Tratsch Geschichten, die wir über sie im Kopf haben. Diese Frau musste zu viel mitmachen, weil sie sich anderen Menschen unterordnen musste, bis hin zur totalen Fremdbestimmung. Und trotzdem ist sie so zurückhaltend und fast schon zu höflich, um ihren Emotionen freien Lauf zu lassen.

Und Justin kam noch viel zu heil bei der Story raus.

dark reflective sad
Genuinely reads like a horror novel at times, especially to someone (me) who was wholly unaware of how Britney's conservatorship came to be. The writing came feel a bit repetitive at times, but I'm so incredibly glad this woman is now able to tell her story.

I know I’ll need a bit of time and a reread or two before I can write a in-depth review (which it’s been a long time since I’ve done that so I’m rusty at them right now). Once I do reread, I’ll come back and edit but for now I only have a couple of things to say. 

While reading this, I felt like I could so relate to what Britney went through, but I also know the situations are quite different. It was a beautiful read and I’m glad I took the time to absorb her story. I do want to say that I haven’t read a ton of memoirs or non-fiction books but I personally enjoyed my reading.
