Hearing Jeanette's story is so emotional and raw. It can definitely be triggering if mental illness and parental abuse is something you struggle reading about. Outside of that, I highly recommend this book. It is so open and nostalgic. Jeanette is a born writer. You can tell writing this book was very therapeutic for her and I hope it encourages her to potentially write more in the future.

This story is so sad and depressing. Jennette McCurdy was violated, abused and paced into a career in tv by her own mother. This is a story of eating disorders, alcoholism, narcissistic family members and the devastating life of a child in Hollywood.  Excellent written, though I had a hard time finding it funny.

An extremely challenging read/listen, but it's a million times over worth it.

McCurdy is EXTREMELY detailed in her descriptions of what I've listed in the "Graphic" section, so exercise caution where you see fit.

I was shocked that Mark was not Jennette actual biological Dad, and I cried (tears of joy) when she met her actually father. She deserves the truth and I couldn’t be any happy for her
