, is as compelling as they come. Spears herself reads a prologue, with her lilting Louisiana vowels, before actress Michelle Williams takes over for the main narrative. But even when Williams is on the microphone, it is Spears’ voice you hear – smart, funny, chippy and strong.
“My sisters and I had matching bathing suits and matching perms,” she recounts. “Now it’s basically illegal to give a little kid a perm, but back in the ’90s it was just cute as HELL.”The road trips to the beach, when Spears was 13, were delightful mother-daughter experiences. Spears and her mother Lynne would drink alcohol together, and the alcohol made them “happier, more alive and adventurous”.
This is a happy memory for her: “We had a lot of fun. Even amid all the darkness there was still a lot of joy in my childhood”.The story illustrates the corrupting influence of adults in her life, and how, even as a child, she functioned to serve her parents’ interests , rather than the other way around.
Spears’ memoir details the time when her path diverged from her male peer and then-boyfriend, Justin Timberlake. In her telling, she fell pregnant aged 19 to Timberlake, who she met as a child when they were both Mickey Mouse Club mouseketeers . She says he urged her to terminate the pregnancy . American healthcare being what it is,and writhed in pain on her bathroom floor as it happened. Instead of getting her a doctor, Timberlake got his guitar. He thought his music might soothe her.
Later, Spears broke down under the public glare, shaved her head one night, in a biblical rage captured by paparazzi, and went on to attack those paparazzi with an umbrella ., and placed under a state-sanctioned conservatorship controlled by her father, the same man whose alcoholism had terrified her as a child.
