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.

The beginning of this book felt a bit slow at points. Perhaps it was the choppy dialogue bits that I always find a bit confusing in memoirs because the dialogue surely can’t be one hundred percent what happened. Memory bits aside, the book was very interesting to hear about Jennette McCurdys point of view and her life experience especially when I saw a smal part of it on screen growing up. Also, I find it helpful to read about relationships with moms that are not the picture perfect best friend one depicted in Gilmore Girls. I relate to Jennette a lot more. The middle and end of the book were more fast paced with shorter chapters at points that helped the book flow. I guess I started to appreciate her writing style more once it got to the point where she was on Nickelodeon because I had more of a connection with that time in my own life. Jennette does a great job processing her emotions and experiences and I can only begin to imagine what a tiring and long process that was and is.
