dark emotional reflective sad

5.0

Jeanette began acting at her mother insistence at the age of 6. She documents her upbringing and struggles in Hollywood as a Disney star. Best known for her role in iCarly as Sam, Jeannette struggled with pleasing her mom and finding her own independence.  Heartbreaking, realistic, and full of emotional and personal growth. Jeanette wants to shape her own story and not follow someone else’s direction. She comes into her own with this autobiography.

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

I actually really enjoyed Janettes writing style. Her memoir was extremely honest and raw. She was so vulnerable in her writing but she has such a strong voice. There’s so much trauma talked about in this book yet the story talks about the recovery side of it as well.
