I’m so glad I stopped professional acting in high school and then took another like 8 years to decide to be a professional actor for real as an adult then 4 years later I kinda quit acting but then I unquit acting to do a web series. I loved this book and it was very nice to read an unrelenting account of the way Hollywood behaves from someone from my generation. It had all my topics of interest: addiction, power abuse, sad little girls with abusive matriarchs. It was really relatable and reassuring to read in some ways, because it was like reading the extreme and more horrific version of some of my own industry experiences. It was also super fucking sad and trigger warning everything but I trusted the author throughout the process. I’m proud of her and look forward to book 2.

McCurdy’s writing style is raw, vulnerable, and so compelling that I was drawn into every word. 

As a viewer of her Nickelodeon shows, her story behind the scenes/screens is so shockingly painful and heart-wrenching. It’s been a while since I’ve read a book and felt myself having a hard time putting it down (“one more page…one more chapter…two more chapters…”). I’m left feeling sad and empathetic for McCurdy and her experiences of abuse and grief but also a sense of hope and wonder around recovery and finding yourself after feeling like you were trying to be someone/something else for so long.

How can a life experience be given less than 5 stars?  I always thought she looked very unhappy and now I know how terribly abused she was and I can completely understand why.  She is an amazing example of strength and a beautiful roll model, not because she is perfect, but because she is perfecting herself in spite of what she had to overcome.
