I'm glad Jennette McCurdy is still creating, I'm glad she's well and I'm glad she's shared this with us.
In her (fantastic, I must say) writing she says that she wants to do something meaningful with her work, and I hope she's seeing all the conversations that her book are opening around abuse and specifically abusive motherhood and childhood exploitation in the acting industry.
This was a hard read at times with how much some parts resonated with me, but it was a needed one. Regardless, please take care of yourself and read the trigger warnings before diving in.
