This book is heavy. Jennette McCurdy does not shy away from the abuse, eating disorders, grief, and other complex challenges she’s faced throughout her life. It is incredibly honest, heartfelt, and hopeful in spite of all the darkness. It’s amazing to read about her journey, and I loved the vignette approach to her storytelling. Each short chapter/story held its own, but they all individually built into a very emotional narrative.

A beautiful but deeply heartbreaking memoir. I’m so glad I read it, but I’m not sure I’ll ever be able to bring myself to read it again.
