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 really good and heartbreaking. Learning about her story and struggles was hard especially hearing how she did not enjoy acting. There’s a lot of hard topics discussed in this so make sure to read trigger warnings.

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

Definitely heartbreaking and a reminder that no matter how “successful” people look, you don’t know the full story. 

There are A LOT of trigger warnings here that I found very jarring so I couldn’t go any higher on my rating for me personally.  I very much appreciate her sharing her story.

Jennette McCurdy's writing talent is at a level I aspire to reach. I felt as if I was experiencing all of the highs and lows and emotions of her life with her the entire time. Despite being (exactly) fifteen years younger, I don't remember nearly as many details of my childhood as she does, but she retells it in a matter-of-fact way that doesn't bore or anger me. I haven't read any non-fiction for pleasure, but I'm glad I started with her audiobook, even though the second memoir I loaned pales in comparison. If I ever have the money for it, I'd love to buy this book or any other titles she may be working on. I wish her all the best in life and her future writing endeavours.

This book was very insightful on the mind that can be riddled with mental illness & eating disorder. It brings to fruition the things that happen behind closed doors.
