challenging dark emotional fast-paced

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.

challenging dark emotional reflective sad tense fast-paced

3.5

This story is so sad and depressing. Jennette McCurdy was violated, abused and paced into a career in tv by her own mother. This is a story of eating disorders, alcoholism, narcissistic family members and the devastating life of a child in Hollywood.  Excellent written, though I had a hard time finding it funny.

McCurdy is EXTREMELY detailed in her descriptions of what I've listed in the "Graphic" section, so exercise caution where you see fit.
