4.5

An incredibly hard, heartbreaking, and uncomfortable reading. But an important one. It tackles hard topics head-on, with courage and even humor in the second part. You can sense the tone of the book changing in the different stages of Jennette's life as if you grow with her. Appreciate the final in which you can see that her opinion has turned around and she is in a better stage.

okaychanly's review against another edition

dark emotional informative inspiring reflective sad medium-paced

4.5

Listening to this as an audiobook, narrated by Jennette McCurdy herself, definitely affected how close and personal this read. It's one thing to read a memoir, but it's another to actually hear the person who lived the events read it to you in their own way. Jennette's storytelling is complete with earnestness, emotion, and (albeit, dark) humor that is reflective of a smartly written, thoughtfully put-together book.
