A memoir by iCarly and Sam & Cat star about her upbringing and acting career. Who hasn’t been drawn in by the name of this alone? 

What can be said about this one that hasn’t already been said? Probably nothing. This is dark, gritty, honest, bare, and overly revealing. It’s written like someone just needed to get the words out, and with the content involved, I’d bet that really was the case. Living out someone else’s dream is not something you should have to do. Parents shouldn’t live vicariously through their children. Your life should be your own. 

An important view into how the world, mothers included, treat their daughters/girls and women. Personally a 5/5*. The author’s narration was an added gift to the novel.

Shocking to read about the kind of people who become parents and about the struggles they leave behind in their children, in more than one generation. I've never known anything about McCurdy before listening to this and I didn't feel like I would've needed to, but maybe there are things I would've understood the context of had I been a fan of hers through the years.

It's hard to rate a book so vunerable and honest as this one. However, I also liked the construction and writing of it, so I decided to rate it anyway. So important and moving!!
