Wow. That's all I really have to say about this book. This book was a quick read, and I really enjoyed it. It's crazy to think that Jennette McCurdy went through all the things she went through, and how well she hid it!

challenging emotional hopeful informative reflective sad tense fast-paced

Incredibly gripping and fast-paced read. Brilliantly written. 

All the reviews on the back seem to describe it as "funny", but I'm not sure that's quite the right word?
Jennette writes in a sort of deadpan, matter-of-fact way, so I could see how one could interpret her presentation of the absurd behaviour she has had to endure in her life as humourous, if only it weren't so absolutely heartbreaking. I really don't think "funny" is the right word for the depictions of toxic relationships in this book. I suppose one could argue the surreal humour angle.
