Meanwhile, the audiobook — narrated by Hollywood star Michelle Williams, with an introduction by Spears — is the fastest-selling in publisher Simon & Schuster’s history.The book contained a number of notable revelations in its candid discussion of her career, relationships, 13-year conservatorship and personal experiences.

One of the most significant was that she had an abortion while dating Justin Timberlake between 1998 to 2002 because he thought they “weren’t ready to have a baby in our lives” and were “way too young”.Excited to share with my fans that I've been working on a secret project with #MarcPlatt.
