4.5

Jennette's storytelling evolved within the book, remaining faithful to whatever age she was at a each chapter. She spoke so candidly and was brutally honest with her straightforward writing and humorous interjections. You could tell that this was catharsis to her and you cannot help but root for her.

Jennette McCurdy berichtet von ihrem Leben, wie sie aufgewachsen ist, ihren Beziehungen und mentalen Krankheiten. Ihre Geschichte ist schockierend. Die Beziehung zu ihrer Mutter, die sie missbraucht hat, wird in all ihren widersprüchlichen und  schwierigen Facetten berichtet. Es wird reflektiert wie tote Menschen auf ein Podest gestellt werden. Es tut weh zu hören wie sehr sie unter ihren Krankheiten, die aus dem Missbrauch folgten gelitten hat. Verschiedene Essstörungen werden genau beschrieben ohne sie zu verklären (habe ich das Gefühl). Gleichzeitig ist es hoffnungsvoll zu hören wie sie ihre Gesundheit und Heilung jetzt an vorderste Stelle stellt. 
Auch der Druck und die konstante Beurteilung ihm Showbusiness wird eindrücklich. 
Ich finde es beeindruckend wie klar und „neutral“ Jennette die Geschehnisse berichten kann ohne, dass ich das Gefühl habe, dass ihre jetzige Bewertung der Geschehnisse die Erzählung beeinflussen.

I listened to the audiobook and listening to her tell her story was so emotional and gut wrenching. Truly something incredible for her to have come back from and I hope that her story inspires people
