3.5 rounded up
This was a fun read! I enjoyed the inclusion of song lyrics, interviews, and various other forms of media sprinkled throughout the book. I especially enjoyed the “wikepedia” style biography at the end of the book. It summed everything up well.
The story did feel a little disjointed at times. I felt like parts of the timeline could have been better developed, but overall a well thought out and developed story.
I really felt for Amber and her struggles. Her struggles with friendships and romantic relationships, with family and the media. She had such little support at home to help keep her grounded. The victim of toxic media culture. Definitely an interesting look back at the 2000s pop princesses!
I recommend this book to readers who enjoyed late 90s, early 2000s pop music and the pop princesses who were pitted against each other.
