Britney Spears has confirmed the title, cover image, and official release date for her upcoming tell-all memoir, “The Woman in Me.” The “Toxic” singer took to Instagram on Tuesday, July 11 to say she was excited to release the book on October 24 since she’d worked so hard on it, even calling in the help of a therapist to get her through the task of rehashing old trauma so the “brutally honest” story of her life could be told.
Spears said that she hoped fans like the “The Woman In Me” considering how much effort she put into it and how candid she is in it. However, she jokingly added that even if people don’t like it, she’s off to Bermuda, jokingly quoting the Beach Boys’ well-known track “Kokomo.”
Jennifer Bergstrom, Gallery Books Senior Vice President and Publisher, tells People that the book will no doubt have a major impact on those who read it.

“Britney’s compelling testimony in open court shook the world, changed laws, and showed her inspiring strength and bravery,” Bergstrom said. “I have no doubt her memoir will have a similar impact — and will be the publishing event of the year. We couldn’t be more proud to help her share her story at last.”
Britney Spears’ memoir sparked a bidding war between multiple publishing houses, though it was eventually Gallery Books, part of Simon & Schuster, who won the publication rights. No doubt they stand to make quite a lot of money from the sales of the book, which will undoubtedly be through the roof.
If you can’t wait until October to get your hands on “The Woman in Me,” too bad — you’ll have to. In the meantime, you can preorder your own copy at BritneyBook.com. It will be available around the world and in multiple languages including Swedish, Hungarian, Polish, and many more.
