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.

This was really good and heartbreaking. Learning about her story and struggles was hard especially hearing how she did not enjoy acting. There’s a lot of hard topics discussed in this so make sure to read trigger warnings.

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

I was shocked that Mark was not Jennette actual biological Dad, and I cried (tears of joy) when she met her actually father. She deserves the truth and I couldn’t be any happy for her
