Her story is written so well! I was so invested in everything. 

It can be quite triggering so please look at the triggers. 

I rarely put five starts so that says a lot.

This was beautifully written and very emotional - as someone who watched iCarly, it is really interesting to find out more about what happened behind the scenes and made me reflect on a lot of the assumptions I made (and still make).

I wish Jennette all the best ❤️

4.5

An incredibly hard, heartbreaking, and uncomfortable reading. But an important one. It tackles hard topics head-on, with courage and even humor in the second part. You can sense the tone of the book changing in the different stages of Jennette's life as if you grow with her. Appreciate the final in which you can see that her opinion has turned around and she is in a better stage.
