Why read it?

1 author picked The Woman in Me as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

On every page, Britney's words turn her from a symbol (which is something that I realized that I, too, saw her as when I started reading) into a complex human being.

By the end, it's hard not to love her, root for her, and be enraged on her behalf. It's a remarkable book.
