The book is available for presale on Amazon ($32.99), B&N ($26.39), Kindle ($20.99), Apple Books ($20.99), Target ($30.49), and more.
What to expect
Britney’s book has been described as “brutally honest.” Journalist Sam Lasky is the ghostwriter, and it’s expected to cover her conservatorship, her marriage to Sam Asghari, and other topics she has never spoken about publicly.
“In June 2021, the whole world was listening as Britney Spears spoke in open court,” reads the website. “The Woman in Me reveals for the first time her incredible journey—and the strength at the core of one of the greatest performers in pop music history.”

The source said she throws people under the bus and talks about past relationships with actors and “people from the music world” which will be revealed for the first time.“There are relationships and people she had encounters with who she managed to keep under the radar,” they said.
The website calls the book “groundbreaking” with “remarkable candor and humor.” “Spears’ groundbreaking book illuminates the enduring power of music and love—and the importance of a woman telling her own story, on her own terms, at last,” it continues.
