I loved this memoir so much more than I was expecting to. Jennette McCurdy has such a wonderful writing style and the more I read the more sorry I felt that she didn’t get the opportunity to explore it sooner.

An emotional story with incredible insight to the life of a child star struggling with family and personal problems.

I highly HIGHLY recommend familiarising yourself with the trigger warnings of this book before reading.

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.

I'm not a fan of biographies, but this one lived exceeded every expectation I had. It was truly horrific in some parts, wistful in others; a true mix that one can only feel when looking back on their life.
