I loved this, I listened to the audiobook version after wanting to read it for years and wow, finished it all in a day. Beautifully wrote, heartbreaking to hear and yet Jennette captivates you. I was a bit fan of Sam and Cat as a child and I can't believe this was all happening behind the scenes, a must read!!!

Another book on my "Well Behaved Women" audiobook tour, as I've decided to call it. 

I never watched ICarly in my life, aside from the few tunes I was babysitting my youngest niece or something. I asked my friend which memes came from the show. 'Woman sitting in front of computer with coffee cup'? No. 'Women talking to a man who has an ostrich and a smoothie'? Yes, she assured me. Needless to say, I can't picture Jennette's face, even after I googled her a couple of times. I think I'd remember her voice now, after listening to it for 6 hours. 

There's a lot of times in this book that I just wanted to grab her by the wrist and lead her away. But her mom probably would have pepper sprayed me. Yeesh, this was a tough one. 

I appreciate Jennette's frank telling of her story. It was heartfelt and raw.

A tale of the horrific things people do those they love and thenlong path of recovery. The things McCurdy suffers at the hands of her mom (and also at those of men in her life) are the stuff of nightmares. I'm glad she's gotten better and I, too, am glad her mom died.
