This book was so heartbreaking and sad…I had to keep reminding myself that this was a true story and not made up. Beautifully written. I hope that Jennette finds peace and happiness in her life.

I can't say I *enjoyed* this book because it was one of the most depressing memoirs I've ever read. But I do greatly appreciate how vulnerable and open McCurdy was with her readers. It was a really raw and personal look at mental health, toxic families, childhood fame, sexual assault, and other trauma. It also is the best example of how much you never know what someone is going through. I watched Jennette as a kid and would never have guessed this was her life behind the scenes. I'm really proud of how much progress she has made and how much she has overcome.

A very raw and emotional window into Jennette McCurdy’s life. As a lover of iCarly and lots of different movies and TV shows it’s easy to catch yourself wondering how much like their character these actors and actresses really are. Coming to find out that some not only are not at all similar to the characters they portray but also didn’t even like them is always a bit alarming. It was really brave of her to be so open about her life of acting and her toxic, codependent relationship with her mother. I wish Jennette all the best things in her life moving forward.
