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.

dark fast-paced

2.0

Boring, bleak, embarrassing. I don’t buy it that Jennette didn’t/ doesn’t want to be an actor. I believe her abuse. But all this memoir says to me is that she wants fame and wants to be loved by the masses. I don’t see a lot of growth here either. Poor writing.
