The vulnerability it takes to say these things about a member of your family is so, so great. I know because, I too feel relief and the opportunity to find myself after my mom died. It’s a strange line to walk - to miss them but also know that you could not have blossomed while they were still here. Heartbreaking.

How can a life experience be given less than 5 stars?  I always thought she looked very unhappy and now I know how terribly abused she was and I can completely understand why.  She is an amazing example of strength and a beautiful roll model, not because she is perfect, but because she is perfecting herself in spite of what she had to overcome.

Really amazing book. Her memory is honestly impressive. Please read the content warnings before reading, there’s a lot of heavy stuff.

This was an amazing memoir. It is so sad to learn that Jennette was going through so much while bringing joy to children/teenagers.

Super fast read. Really well written to help you understand someone’s mindset. It was wonderful to see the the growth and my heart broke for the character I loved on Icarly and to know she was in so much pain. Wonderfully written.
