Fame has put a wedge between Mom and me that I didn’t think was possible. She wanted this. And I wanted her to have it. I wanted her to be happy. But now that I have it, I realize she’s happy and I’m not. Her happiness came at the cost of mine. I feel robbed and exploited.
This book was super fucking sad and painful to get through. I felt for Jennette throughout, it was tough to find someone genuinely sticking my her side. She’s very strong for writing this and I hope this memoir has helped someone in her shoes.
