Let me just state my takeaways, from someone who grew up with her music and liked it but was never a fan. SPOILERS below
I believe she has a horrible family, I don’t think they care for her at all, I think they stole her money and used her every chance they got. I’m amazed she’s standing at all.
But… based on the book, I get the feeling that Britneys not the most reliable narrator. Not that she’s lying, more like she’s a brilliant artist who lacks other skills. The story about her receipts and that one phone call to her mom, and how her early boyfriend’s used her. It makes me feel like she’s not all there. And we don’t get any information on how her boyfriend’s viewed the conservatorship, which bothers me so much…
What are your thoughts?
I agree she’s not the most reliable narrator. But I also think it’s important to let her tell her story, and I am sick of people talking about Britney’s life without her input and just to profit. She has clearly suffered a lot, and has been taken advantage of. As a reader, I feel her pain.
In terms of verisimilitude I, overall, believe her because facts are there. However I also know the truth is told trough her filter and she has been suffering for a long time so maybe some things or facts are distorted.
