dark lighthearted reflective tense fast-paced

Ik had super hoge verwachtingen, maar het blijft toch vrij oppervlakkig allemaal. Wel knap om alles op papier te zetten en alles rondom de eetstoornis is erg concreet en goed uitgelegd. Al met al merkte ik ook dat ik het gevoel van 'stress' en de nare gevoelens erg overnam. Dat is dus goed schrijf- en voorleeswerk, maar daardoor is het voor mij niet per se een boek dat ik zou aanraden of herlezen/-luisteren.

How do you rate someone's life? Jennette McCurdy has seemingly lived so many, but it all boils down into depression and loneliness and mental illness in the pages of this book. I'm so happy she's doing better for herself, and I hope she stays that way.

I grew up watching her, so I could picture the moments she would describe in the real world. When she talks about pictures leaking or a specific scene they had to film or being at an event, I can remember that. Knowing what went on behind the scenes now, however, makes those moments turn upside down. I don't regret being happy and watching those moments, but I can reflect on them now because (to a much lesser degree) I feel like I went through that as well. Faking a life that would end up cemented in some kind of history, only to be broken behind the scenes. 

I wish her well. And I hope she can choose her OWN thing for her life.
