This book was amazing not to mention really sad. I feel for Jennette and the hard times she had to face growing up. As I always looked up to her since I was younger, being able to hear her story made me gain even more respect for her. After I read her story last year, I began to come across rumors about her time being on ICarly and completely understand as to why she no longer chooses to act. This book was a 10/10 read, I literally could not put it down.

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.
