challenging dark emotional funny reflective sad fast-paced

4.75

Absolutely heartbreaking chronicle of McCurdy’s experience with a narcissistic parent who exploited, abused, and coerced her into eating disorders & a struggle with addiction. McCurdy’s troubled childhood under her mother is one that anyone with an abusive parent can recognize, and her ability to find and create humor is a demonstration of her talent as a writer.

Sometimes escaping into other people’s lives is an adventure and sometimes it sheds light on a person’s character or actions. This is neither. This is a reflection on the complexities of abusive and neglectful parenting. It’s a memoir on insecurity, people pleasing, and the struggle to find one’s self. In some ways I’m glad I listened. She deserves to be heard and the little girl she was deserves to have her reality seen… but I can’t help but wish I hadn’t read it at all. I finished the book feeling very much voyeuristic.

man…. *deep breathe* this book is intense. definitely a lot of trigger warning is needed but she does a great job showing how exploitative the child actor scene is. her family is messed up & it’s really sad (but some of it relatable). I felt myself rooting for her & relating to her more & more. 

Spoiler

i’m glad things started to look up for her & I hope she’s doing well
