You’ve read the headlines, but you don’t know Jamie Lynn Spears. The world first met Jamie Lynn as a child star, when it was her job to perform, both on set and for the press. She spent years escaping into different characters—on All That, Zoey 101, and even in the role as Britney’s kid sister. But as she grew up, faced a teen pregnancy, raised her daughter on her own, pursued a career, and learned to stand on her own two feet, the real Jamie Lynn started to take center stage - a raw, blemished, and imperfect woman, standing in her own power.

Insightful, encouraging, heartbreaking
Reviewed: 01-25-22
Overall, this gives a lot of insight into Jamie Lynn’s journey. I give her a lot of respect for sharing her story and making herself vulnerable, especially knowing the hate she would receive for it. Having said that, at times I found her story hard to follow and that it jumped around (reference something from the past/future and assumes the reader knows what she’s referencing). I wish many of her explanations in the book were more detailed, they were not specific. She would say things like, “make poor choices, toxic environment, etc” but never give specifics to the reader. Overall, I did think it was encouraging and heartbreaking. The novel painted a picture about her struggles and why the way things are the way they are. Kids or not, one chapter will leave you sobbing and with chills.
