<audio-booked> It felt like i was listening to her read an organized version of her diary. Of course after the extensive Dan Schneider stuff came out earlier this year, it was just another add on to what I already knew from the docuseries. Although, most of the book really depicts her relationship with her mother, ED, & alcohol reliance (during particular times in her life). I really loved the truth she told without sugar coating & how it was much more raw. What we saw as fans was not even a fraction of her life.

Thanks Jennette for sharing your story 🫶🏼

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.

This memoir was really difficult to listen to because of the way Jennette's mother treated her and her husband, Jenette's eating disorders, alcoholism, and denial, and her mother forcing her to be dependent and not allowing her to be her own person through emotional manipulation.

Due to the content and extensive TW list, I cannot recommend this book and caution readers to take care while consuming.

I loved this book and the raw vulnerability with which Jeannette shared her story. We often don't think we have fucked up childhoods until we hear about someone else's fucked up childhood.
