The Story 📚
Jennette was just six years old when her mother took her to her first acting audition. Acting, fame and money became Jennette’s mom’s goal for her daughter. Through a complex and abusive relationship, Jennette had no choice but to act along, and do everything she could to make her mother happy. Known for fame on Nickelodeon’s children’s shows iCarly and Sam & Cat, Jennette reveals how the abuse she experienced existed not just at home, but on set as well.
Jennette tells her story honestly, with dark humour. After her mother dies, Jennette begins to reach out for help regarding her mental health and eating disorder. But a childhood of abuse leaves a lot to work through.
The Review 👩🏻💻
Honestly, I’m glad her mother died. The abuse and coercion Jennette experienced from such a young age is horrible. And also to know that I’m sure her story is not unique. There are so many other child actors, and children of influencers that can no doubt relate to at least aspects of Jennette’s story.
I listed along on audiobook, and I honestly think that is the perfect way to experience this book as it was read by Jennette herself. While the topics were very heavy, I found it very easy to listen to. With Jennette’s dark humour, there were plenty of laughs as well. Really recommend this book, especially if you’re struggling to pick up a book at the moment. This has definitely gotten me out of a reading rut.
