Didn’t know Jennette McCurdy from a bar of soap having not really been a Nick kid growing up. I stumbled across her through an interview on armchair expert and was intrigued by that interview and the frame up of this book.
Ultimately it’s a raw, candid and mostly horrible account of a childhood spent trying to please someone who didn’t deserve to be pleased and the utter devastation that causes at the time and into adulthood.
It was written/narrated beautifully and I bloody hope that she makes more from this book than the hush money she was offered.

A raw, unflinching look at an eating disorder that developed from abuse. I didn’t have cable growing up and I don’t think I’ve seen a single tv show Jeanette McCurdy has been on so I didn’t have a big personal connection to pick this book up, but people have been raving about it since it came out. I can’t imagine what it took for her to put herself out here with this book. Excellently written.
