I listened to this as an audiobook and listening to Jennette talk so openly and emotionally about things very similar to what I experienced as a kid has honestly touched me in some way. It's incredibly rare to hear anyone talk about childhood abuse perpetrated and conducted by their mother and even rarer to hear them talk about it so bluntly, openly, and thoughtfully. I have an astronomical respect for this woman and I hope she knows that her openness makes so many people feel so much less alone.
McCurdy writes with humour and strikingly brutal honesty in a way that very much resonates with me. This book had me in tears, in bouts of laughter, and in a very contemplative & reflective mood. The way she chronicles her life had me so proud of her for her successes and so hopeful she could rise again when she slipped and truly had me engaged.
Thank you for writing about your experience. Thank you for allowing us to listen.

I really enjoyed the way Jennette found humour and the internal monologue jokes. I think the hard topics were handled well, the ed topics were a little graphic for me but only because I understand the lived experience. This book covers some really hard topics and unpacks feelings of idolisation. I liked how the chapters were layer out and the pacing as it progressed through her life to modern day. I’d love to read more of her writing and I hope she gets into screenwriting/plays like her younger self wanted to.
