this absolutely wrecked me. having been born in 2004, icarly was one of my favorite shows growing up and sam was always my favorite character. she was angry like i was. i remember loving all of dan schneider’s (or the Creator’s) shows. i remember when things started to come about about him and how he treated child actors…

the moment i found out about this memoir, i knew i had to read it. life (and the fact that the book had cost $30) got in the way for a bit. i got the book for christmas and read the first chapter shortly after. and then there was a long period of time i was too busy to read the rest of this despite how intrigued i was. i finally picked it up again yesterday. i finished it tonight. i absolutely blew through this. my heart ached with every sentence that i read. i’m happy jennette is doing better now. i am also very glad that her mom died, too.
