I’m conflicted about my rating. On the one hand, Jennette is very vulnerable and shared so much about her personal life, which I really appreciate. On the other hand, the writing wasn’t anything spectacular and I feel like the book ended too soon. I wish she had waited a few years so she could tell more of her story in recovery/more introspection about her childhood. This book is less about her being a child actress and more about her narcissistic mother who influenced and abused her throughout her childhood. Lots of trigger warnings, lots of adult content, and definitely not for everyone. I think we all assume celebrities are at least a little messed up, but it’s amazing all that she went through and now she is healing. I think I’m not the target audience for this book, especially because I barely recognized her as an actress, but I think it was worth the read. As another reviewer said, I’m also glad her mom died.

*heavy sigh* 

This book has helped and will help so many people struggling from similar challenging and traumatic experiences. 

Her story was very validating to me as someone that was abused from childhood to adulthood by parents that have tried (and failed) to gaslight me into believing that they weren’t abusive. It was validating to know that I’m not crazy and these experiences have deeply affected who I am as a person. 

I felt for her In so many ways throughout the book from frustration and anger to pain and grief to hopefulness and relief. 

ALSO…Miranda Cosgrove is an angel and a national treasure, her and Jennette deserve all of the success in the world in whatever they want to do. And Ariana Grande SUCKS and we ALL owe Victoria Justice a huge freakin apology.

Just wow. I couldn't stop reading. Growing up watching icarly, getting older and recognising the issues with Nickelodeon and child acting. This book puts it all into perspective in a way that is impactful. 

Jennette tells a story from childhood to dealing with a troubled foundation as an adult. Her writing is captivating and it is clear that this book was a passion project
