A story that will stay with me. This definitely helps remind me that you can never tell from the outside what a person is going through. Her voice is unique and straight to the point.

I have loved Jennette since I was a child and iCarly first came out, I always thought she was so funny. When I heard about this book and started to find out about her trauma and hardships during her time with Nick, I felt almost guilty about watching the show when I was younger. This book gives me such a deep appreciation for Jennette sticking through all of her hardships, and finding out that even though we do not have a similar life or upbringing in the slightest, I could still relate to her sentiments and feelings towards her mother. 10/10

Everyone and their mom has raved about this book since it came out. It’s well deserved. Jennette looks back and portrays every event with humor and pathos. From her mother forcing her into acting at six and teaching her how to be anorexic at eleven, her alcoholism, her first romances, and finally her unraveling after her mother’s death. It’s tragic and upsetting but ultimately hopeful. 

I wish there had been a bit more about her coming to grips with her mother’s abuse. What it was like finally acknowledging it and coming to terms with it. Maybe a bit more about why she finally feels that she can be glad her mom died. 

This book was really good though. Powerful and vulnerable. Definitely recommend.

I liked that Jennette McCurdy read the book. Did want to DNF at some points as it was hard to stomach sometimes, but kept going. Interesting to get a look into what some child actors may face at such a young age and how it influences them their whole life.
