So I started on Britney Spears’s new book, The Woman In Me, and I’m about one-third of the way in and it greatly exceeded my expectations.
Without any explicit spoilers, a lot of the details in her story reminded me heavily of Sarah Lynn’s story.
Of course I know that the character of Sarah Lynn herself is heavily influenced by child stars that grew up to become sexualized pop stars and also abused by the family around her such as Britney or Lindsey - however, now hearing the story from a more personal angle from Britney’s point of view, in her voice, just makes the staggering similarities between her story and Sarah Lynn’s that much more clearer.
Has anyone else in this sub also read Britney’s new book? What did you think about it?

The show’s characters are deliberately meant to represent specific Hollywood archetypes and incorporate elements from several similar celebrities. That’s why for days people have been acting like Matthew Perry’s death is this shocking coincidence with uncanny similarities to BoJack’s character and plot arc. It’s not. Matthew Perry is literally the kind of celebrity BoJack is modeled after, though not the specific celebrity because there probably isn’t any specific celebrity and he’s a mix of a bunch of people. Same thing for Sarah Lynn. Of course her plot resembles Britney Spears’ life, that’s the point. But she’s not based on Britney Spears specifically. That’s like being amazed that Uncle Hankie resembles Bill Cosby or Vance Waggoner resembles Mel Gibson.
