Hard to add anything review-wise that hasn't already been said. I had this book on hold for MONTHS and it was worth the wait and didn't disappoint. Never thought I would be rooting for someone to die of cancer, but this book got me to. McCurdy is incredibly astute and I hope she lives a long, happy life as a writer and director while nobody bothers her. The ironic part for me personally was reading about McCurdy's misery with fame she didn't ask for, because I grew up without cable, have never seen a single episode of iCarly and had never heard of her until she was on a podcast I listen to talking about the book. I would literally not have recognized her on the street and had no idea what the hell a "sam puckett" was. (And I'm not googling what a butter sock is.)  Anyway, Jennette if you read this I only know you from this book and not a kid's TV show, so you have at least one fan that only knows you as a deeply talented author.

4.5

The beginning of this book felt a bit slow at points. Perhaps it was the choppy dialogue bits that I always find a bit confusing in memoirs because the dialogue surely can’t be one hundred percent what happened. Memory bits aside, the book was very interesting to hear about Jennette McCurdys point of view and her life experience especially when I saw a smal part of it on screen growing up. Also, I find it helpful to read about relationships with moms that are not the picture perfect best friend one depicted in Gilmore Girls. I relate to Jennette a lot more. The middle and end of the book were more fast paced with shorter chapters at points that helped the book flow. I guess I started to appreciate her writing style more once it got to the point where she was on Nickelodeon because I had more of a connection with that time in my own life. Jennette does a great job processing her emotions and experiences and I can only begin to imagine what a tiring and long process that was and is.

Highly encourage anyone to read the trigger/content warnings the book is very graphic. While I think it is good I am cautious recommending it because of the explicit content.
