This is kinda why I don’t really read biographies. Someone recommended this one and well I just wasn’t impressed and kinda bored. Oh well. 🤷🏻‍♀️

this was an excellent memoir, well written and well organized. loved how mccurdy writes, makes you feel like you’re in the moment in time in her life she’s writing about as it’s happening, whether in childhood or as an adult. really powerful and heartbreaking stuff that can resonate with any reader who may have struggled with family, mental, or ED issues growing up, but regardless it’s a moving, relatable memoir. highly recommended. would love to see what other writing mccurdy will put out into the world.

Never heard of Jenette McCurdy but found this book to be very funny in a dark twisted way.

Tongue - n- cheek, some dark themes but very humorous.

I listened to the Audio, It was so powerful hearing Jennette tell her story. I remember watching iCarly and Sam and Cat, I would have never guessed all the stuff going on in her home life. It's sad. I'm glad she was able to get it off her chest. If you know her listen to the story it may surprise you.
