I felt this book was such a great read and deserves five stars! I learned a lot more about Britney Spears and enjoyed hearing quite a bit of celebrity gossip. Britney is so brave and strong to have dealt with such lies, abuse, and torment. I could not have coped well I would imagine. She must be so tough! When reading it; it literally seemed like such abuse. It was!
How does a woman be so controlled she cannot have access to more of her money, who she wants to date, and where she wants to go? How sad she must have been. I feel so awful for her but am glad she is out of control from her father mainly.
Hearing about her former boyfriend Justin Timberlake cheating on her and wanting the abortion...I am not surprised! Just him making the music videos with Britney look-a-likes was mean enough. It was basically making people believe she was the total bad-girl in the situation. Britney did not really speak up much for herself and the world was lead to believe Justin was just so screwed over and he was the victim.
If all of this is true; which in my opinion I believe Britney...this is so heartbreaking. A lot of men and women want the benefit of fun when it comes to certain actions...they just do not want the consequences. Funny how that works! I think it takes two to make certain choices at times but women are often influenced deeply by those they love or date. Especially being young and naive! Imagine doing all that and he still ends up doing interviews about you.
Losing respect for Justin came for me when he did a radio interview but mentioned his intimate history with Britney. I remember hearing the radio interview and feeling so disgusted. I was so young when I heard it and knew no good man should do that. It just is not right.
When I got to the parts about her mother and little sister; I was the most surprised. When I was a little girl; I remember the first time I ever saw Britney on my television screen. It was the "...Baby one more time" video and I was in awe. She looked beautiful, fit, and like a confident girl dancing in the music video. I instantly became a HUGE fan.
Throughout my child and teen years some children at the schools I would attend would honestly make fun of me for liking Britney Spears so much. She seemed so genuine and talented to me; so I had zero regrets. That sort of bullying did not always get to me but now I like Britney even more.
Honestly, many loving or good mothers would be rebellious, angry, or plain out of control if they lost access to their funds, children, and literally everything else. The thought of just losing custody of children I birthed would seem like the end of the world to me! I am so glad she never lost her faith because I bet many people would have not been able to cope.
Britney Spears does mention praying and God in the book. That meant a lot to me for her mentioning just how little faith she used to have and that she did not believe in God anymore after going through so much heartache and abuse. Thank goodness she did not give up on herself. Sometimes even the biggest stars can feel alone and miserable; this book was eye opening for me.
I am so glad Britney began to pray more and trust God. I really admire her for going through so much sadness to finally be living a more free life now and getting closer to God.
