A deeply personal memoir that made me both laugh and cry, and it DEFINITELY earned the title!

This book broke my heart, made me laugh, cry, and scream. McCurdy put her whole heart and life into this book and I was not able to put it down.

I just want to spew all of the cheesy, stereotypical things that people say after reading a memoir because it’s true! I have endless, insurmountable respect for Jenette after reading this and wanted to hug her the whole time. I have a negative bias towards celebrity memoirs because I feel that they’re typically very poorly written but she absolutely killed it!!!!!

Gives you great insight into Jeannette’s life and the turmoil she had to deal with as her mother controlled her every move. For those with narcissistic parent/parents.

Devastating, witty, and well written. I don’t usually like memoirs but this was a great read.
