Just wow. So candid and open. Jennette has earned nothing but my new found respect through this. No child deserves this life.

briminous's review against another edition

challenging dark emotional funny hopeful informative lighthearted reflective sad medium-paced

I read this book on Audiobook and it was very interesting to learn about Jennette's Life her experiences in acting and the relationships between her and her mother. Also, just with friends and family in general. 

I grew up watching ICarly and I had no idea that she was going through a lot. I find her experiences very telling, insightful, and sad as well. It's crazy how you watch something and think it's a dream to be in on a show because outside looking in it looks fun, and exciting, and it looks like everyone is good, but you don't know what goes on behind the scenes. 

I do not rate memoirs or biographies because it's based on someone's life but, this was good and highly recommend this read especially on audiobook.
