It feels wrong to rate someone’s memoir, especially one as heavy as this one, but wow. It is just wild to me how we essentially grew up with Jennette all over our tvs and had no clue what was going on behind the scenes. What a strong woman and the whole time reading the book I felt like I was with a friend and wanted to give her a hug when it was over. Love her and a great memoir!

I have read some heartbreaking books lately, but Jeanette's story really takes the cake for me. It was a very tough read, but I was grateful that Jeanette passed on some of her wisdom about coping with the aftereffects of being parented by a narcissist. 

It should be mentioned that there are a considerable number of content warnings for this book including eating disorders and everything that goes with them, child abuse, domestic abuse, chronic illness and death.
