challenging dark emotional inspiring reflective sad tense medium-paced

4.0

The pressure Jeanette had to grow up with was insane and terrible, add on the fact that she had to do it in the public eye as a child actress, it’s horrific. What an incredibly vulnerable and moving book.

One of the best memoirs I’ve read, hits home with me on a lot of personal points. Gives insight to the entertainment industry like never before. An in-depth dive on the path of a child actor. Truly a captivating read!

This book covers very intense subject matter and familial issues. Would not recommend for those newly recovering from trauma.

A clear look on the darkness that Jennette McCurdy faced/faces in her life. This is a hard read, but a good one to have out there.

I watched iCarly and Sam & Cat when I was younger and seeing this book written by Jennette McCurdy really surprised me, because I had no idea of her real life. I found her story captivating, intriguing, inspiring, funny, deep, and so much more. I definitely think parts of her story will resonate with me.
