This was really good and heartbreaking. Learning about her story and struggles was hard especially hearing how she did not enjoy acting. There’s a lot of hard topics discussed in this so make sure to read trigger warnings.

I was shocked that Mark was not Jennette actual biological Dad, and I cried (tears of joy) when she met her actually father. She deserves the truth and I couldn’t be any happy for her

Definitely heartbreaking and a reminder that no matter how “successful” people look, you don’t know the full story. 

There are A LOT of trigger warnings here that I found very jarring so I couldn’t go any higher on my rating for me personally.  I very much appreciate her sharing her story.

It's a really good book, makes you think about what child actors feel like when i watch a movie. Jennette McCurdy has a way of writing that I don't see often and I couldn't put the book down, though I did quite a few stares when I was reading it because of the title.
