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.

challenging dark emotional reflective sad tense fast-paced

3.5

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.

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.
