challenging dark emotional funny hopeful sad fast-paced

4.5

I thought it was interesting that Jennette presented the things she went through in such a matter-of-fact, seemingly impartial way, but  communicated the horror of the abuse and the way she viewed it at the time simultaneously. I like the way she writes with a sardonic twist. I hope she writes more.

Absolutely brutal. She's a great storyteller even if it's one you never want to hear.

5.0

Beautifully heartbreaking journey through mental, physical, and emotional abuse. Jennette was hauntingly stunning in her words as she conveyed what it was like to grow up as a child star in an abusive household environment while dealing with disorders.
