A gripping, powerfully vulnerable piece. Jennette is a force and I am a better person for having sat with her story. It made me grateful for my own mother and her insistence on my remaining a child as long as I could, even when I begged her to take me to open casting calls as a kid. Her rejection of my desire for childhood stardom was a saving grace I will never stop being thankful for.

Aaah this book was just... so good. I've been in a big reading slump, and this got me out of it. I finished it like five minutes ago and still processing it. I'm trying to describe her life story but it's so.... complex, I just can't. I hope one day I'll have the same strength to start healing.

challenging dark emotional fast-paced

incredibly intense from start to finish and not at all what i was expecting. i think it’s beautifully written and funny at times, and i love jennette mccurdy’s voice. but i do want to emphasize that this is a very challenging book and to please look at trigger warnings before picking it up.
