i’m floored by Jennette’s bravery to write this book. it absolutely breaks my heart time and time again to hear people’s experiences with child stardom at the hands of their parents. one of the highest forms of cruelty. 

this memoir is written incredibly well; it’s both funny and gut wrenching, and all too real to hear it from the perspective of the age she is writing about, rather than in retrospect. 

really enjoyed listening as an audiobook, hearing the moment she finally has to acknowledge the abuse her mother had put her through her whole life will really stick with me.

Es un buen libro, una buena experiencia de como la mente de Jennette fue cambiando a través de los años. Me veo reflejada en experiencias similares a las de ella y aun asi veo lo extremadamente privilegiada es ahora Jennette para estar en la posición en la que esta. Lo ambos horrible y beneficioso que fue su carrera en hollywood, tomando en cuenta que pudo comprar una casa en sus veintes y conseguir ir con dos terapeutas distintos sin mención sobre el dinero que costaron o lo estresante de tener ese tipo de pagos para el poder obtener ayuda y un techo sobre tu cabeza.

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
