Fantastic. It's such a good read. Would recommend this to everyone. It's heavy content but McCurdy's writing is so incredible and witty that it is a very smooth read. This is one of my favourite books, I would rate it higher if I could.

This book is heavy and largely about parental abuse, specifically maternal abuse, and it's ongoing effects.

I would have preferred to hear more about her heading journey. The ending felt rushed to wrap things up.

Great book. A very dark life story about Jennettes terrible upbringing with an extremely controlling narcisistic mother. I couldn't stop reading it. To anyone reading this book who relates to her story, please read Dr. Ramani Durasulvas books about navigating narcissism. I highly recommend them.
