Britney Spears and Lynne Spears’ Memoir Heart to Heart
Chelsea brings back writer and Talk Girl host Sam Reece to travel back to the 2000s and dive deep into the mother-daughter memoir "Heart to Heart" by Britney and Lynne Spears. Together, they unpack the core trauma hiding between the pages, the Ryan Gosling mix-up, and the deeply cringeworthy poetry that lands somewhere between purity culture and a "Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul" fever dream. Plus: Was this actually just written by Lynne, alone at a typewriter, switching wigs and wearing a football helmet? Find out!
