It follows Jennette McCurdy's early career as a child actress under her mother's thumb, taking the reader through decades of abuse from the perspective of a kid who absolutely adores her parent. Emotional and physical abuse, forced eating disorders, and intense controlling behaviors are just a few of the things she talks about - not only how they impacted her in the moment, but how they continued to affect her as she grew into adulthood and even after her mother died.
It was powerful and well-written, but in all honesty, a bit difficult for me to read. Some of the descriptions of eating disorders, addiction, and abuse were quite detailed. Those passages emphasize how much the pain inflicted upon McCurdy changed her for life, which I think is a valuable message, but they are pretty hard to get through.
