If you grew up watching iCarly and have childhood trauma of any sort, you will enjoy this book. McCurdy is naturally humorous, and it reflects in her writing. There were times I was crying and others I was laughing out loud while listening to it. I would highly recommend the audiobook since she reads it herself. The only complaint I have is I wish there was more about her adult life but I understand that wasn’t the complete focus of the book. I also wish there had been more reflection about her relationship with her mother while she was finally recovering about her ED. I felt like it was gone over pretty quickly. Still loved it though.

I felt growing up with the author 
Empathized with the pain she sad
It was a sad and beautiful story.
The unfortunate effect a parent can have on their child.

This book is as shocking as its title is provocative. A really awful story of abuse told in the most matter-of-fact way, with no demonising of the antagonists. The author reads the audio book in a way that had me hanging on her every word. Breathtaking, shocking, compelling.
