Description

In this intimate national bestselling memoir, actress and musician Jamie Lynn Spears opens up for the first time, telling her unfiltered story on her own terms.

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.

Despite growing up in one of America's most tabloid-famous families, Jamie Lynn has never told her story in her own words. In Things I Should Have Said, she talks frankly about the highs and lows, sharing what it was like traveling the world as a kid, how she moved into acting and performing herself, what life as a child star took from her, and the life-changing reality of becoming a teen mom. She talks about how she finally found love and how the mistakes she has made have taught her more than anything else. She also shares vulnerably about how the ATV accident that nearly took her daughter's life brought her back to her faith and caused her to reevaluate and redirect her life.

Frank, courageous, and inspiring, Things I Should Have Said is a portrait of a wife, momma, sister, daughter, actress, and musician doing the best she could to show up for herself and teach her daughters to have the courage to love every part of themselves, too.

    Maybe she’s a victim but the book feels forced to show it.
  • It’s a waste of time

    This is a very interesting book, not in a good way… It’s boring and is not very interesting to read.
  • Lot of repetition

    It felt like Jamie repeated a lot of the same things in different words all throughout the book. Many chapters felt like rereading the same thing over and over. The book could’ve been a lot shorter with that repetition removed. I can appreciate her discussing the challenges she had being a teen mom, getting out of a relationship with an addicted person and her daughter’s accident. It also seemed a little hypocritical to spend so much time advocating for her independence in decision making from teen to adult and being an “authentic” person but not saying it was wrong when that was taken from Britney by their own parents.
