Jennette McCurdy's writing talent is at a level I aspire to reach. I felt as if I was experiencing all of the highs and lows and emotions of her life with her the entire time. Despite being (exactly) fifteen years younger, I don't remember nearly as many details of my childhood as she does, but she retells it in a matter-of-fact way that doesn't bore or anger me. I haven't read any non-fiction for pleasure, but I'm glad I started with her audiobook, even though the second memoir I loaned pales in comparison. If I ever have the money for it, I'd love to buy this book or any other titles she may be working on. I wish her all the best in life and her future writing endeavours.
