An incredible story about an extremely dysfunctional childhood, adolescence and adulthood from the POV of a child star. I started and finished this within 24 hours; a phenomenal, fascinating, and heartbreaking read.

thura's review

funny sad tense fast-paced

4.5

Funny in a way that doesn’t take away from, but further exposes the horrors she faced and world that enabled it.

Also thought the way her point of view and writing style develops as she grows up was very well done. 

Could barely put it down!

Wow. I was blown away by this book and am so glad I had the opportunity to listen to the audiobook version read by the author. Jeanette skillfully weaves together humor, trauma, and resilience in a way that is incredibly human and powerful. What an amazing work of art. As a therapist, I must note the material has high potential for triggering those living with eating disorders.

Really good read, and incredibly fucked up. Jeanette's narration in the audiobook is incredible to listen to.
