The Woman In Me by Britney Spears

 

Title: The Woman In Me
Author: Britney Spears
Genre: Memoir

There aren't a lot of people that haven't at least heard of Britney Spears. Her music - and her story - are a cultural touch point. I would say I'm a casual fan - I know her big hits, or at least most of them, and know a little of her life story. But having picked up this book, I am left surprised at how little I knew about what she was truly experiencing! It was a fast and intriguing read, and I was amazed at how honest it seems like she is being, all of the way through! A great read to rediscover the person behind the cultural icon!
