The Woman in Me

 This book was an incredible ride and can easily be read in one sitting (I definitely did). I wish they didn't leak some of the bombshells early, but there's still a lot of interesting things in this book - some you'd expect and some you wouldn't.

I appreciate in this book how Britney takes accountability. She doesn't try to be a perfect person and owns up to her mistakes. She was so carefree at one point and that was slowly taken away from her and ultimately ended in her conservatorship.

Britney covers pretty much all the highs and lows you'd expect - Justin, Kevin, the paparazzi. She even gives a nod to the infamous MTV VMA performance that went wrong. But there are a couple of lesser known things she doesn't address. She doesn't mention anything about “Original Doll” (her mysteriously scrapped album). She also doesn't address any of the controversy about the lip syncing or the ghost vocals in later albums. Also, since this came out pre-divorce, she calls Sam her husband and there is absolutely nothing negative about him.

Overall I recommend this to pop music fans, especially Britney fans. It's an easy read, but it gets pretty sad several times too. I still think Jessica Simpson's book has a slight edge, but this book was really solid too. Now all we need is Christina Aguilera's tell all memoir and the trilogy will be complete!
