dark emotional reflective medium-paced

4.5

I think this book would be really comforting and relatable to those who have very complicated relationships with their mothers and in return have a very complex self image. 

This was a hard read for me personally, but I did learn a lot from it. In the cheesy way of it making me feel less alone, i’ll definitely be rereading it.

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.

Incredible book. Jeanette McCurdy has a really incredible skill as an author, and is able to recall her heartbreaking and horrible past in a way which is funny, light enough to withstand, and makes you feel like you were right there beside her through it all. An amazing memoir, as said by someone who never reads memoirs. I got the audiobook and highly recommend it. Hearing her words in her voice was incredible. She is such a talented storyteller.
