dark emotional funny reflective sad medium-paced

4.5

Sharp and blunt, this is an excellent examination into the exploitation of child stars. Jeanette is clever, funny, and genuine in her memoir, and listening to her recount her life story is both horrifying and intriguing.

dark emotional hopeful informative reflective sad tense medium-paced

4.5

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.

Highly encourage anyone to read the trigger/content warnings the book is very graphic. While I think it is good I am cautious recommending it because of the explicit content.
