Summary
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.

I would recommend if you want to hear Jamie-Lynns perspective on her life.
I remember watching Zoey 101 and seeing Jamie-Lynn all over the press when she fell pregnant so young. It was interesting to hear Jamie-Lynns story and her perspective on life as a teen mum with rocky relationships and fame to contend with. You can really hear the emotion in her voice when she discusses her daughters tragic accident. The behind the scenes insight into Zoey 101 was also very interesting. This is not a Britney exposé. I would recommend if you want to hear about Jamie-Lynns life.

Surprisingly Surprised
No matter what you might think of JLS from what the media surrounding Britney Spears has made you believe.
This is her truth and it’s a very good listen. The honestly and pure heart she put in to this book his hard to dispute.
Such a lovely story.

Chapter 3.
A bit Boring but Chapter 3 is the most interesting Chapter. I replay Chapter 3 every week that chapter just connects with me and to me the most interesting.

Honest and reflective
I listened to this book in one go, and it is now clear to me, she is not what she has been made out to be! She is very self-aware, compassionate, brave and reflects on her mistakes first and foremost. She explains herself very well. If only everyone considered their own behaviour and evaluated their own lives before casting blame and judgement on others for doing the best job they know how…well done Jamie Lynn!

beautiful story from a beautiful soul
10/10 Jamie Lynn's voice is so soothing and calming what a touching biography and a true inspiration and what a beautiful miracle your lovely Maddie survived that horrific accident

Refers to herself as “teen star” continuously
I’m not sure if she was more famous in the US than UK and appreciate she had a TV career but she refers to herself as “teen star” often which is a bit cringe! But she tells her story well.

Completely Narcissistic Account
Jamie Lynn comes across incredibly self-centered and her voice over reading style has an attitude to it at times - again persuading me that this is one very narcissistic story teller. I regret buying this book.

Rename 'Everyone is at fault, except for me'
First let's start with a positive: JL's reading performance was clear and easy to listen to. I appreciated the narative in her own voice, although there was little change to pace or tone.
Now the not so good- or to be honest, the 'so bad it's good' : Of course any autobiography is going to be self absorbed; it is after all meant to be about one key individual. But the underlying message of the book came across as a bratty "hey, stop ignoring me, everyone should care about me now". The sheer lack of self-awareness in the narrative made this book, so bad, it's actually good. I'm not even talking about the Britney thing, let's leave that out, as plenty of other people have spoken about that. But just even how she talks about her daughters, and her mother. JL just comes across as someone who views everyone else's purpose as being there to meet her needs - and if they don't, then 'how dare they'! Comes across as incapable of empathy; only superficial consideration for others (felt more for apperance sake), and an enduring blame game where she happily laps up the faults of others, brushing over her own, to then go on to brag about her 'integrity' and 'authenticity'. It's a shame really. I like to think that JL is actually of better character than this. But this just served to make her appear as a selfish, egotistical brat, following the character traits of her father. I hope she finds herself on a better path.

This should’ve never been written
It’s a poor story, poorly performed, and irrelevant. There’s nothing to be gained from reading it except from questioning your choices
