A memoir that really pushes you to understand that there is so much to people than what we see, or rather are invited to see. Complex human relationships with people all stemming from the incredibly complex and abusive relationship Jennette had with her mother. As much as motherhood is idolised and rightfully so, let us not forget that motherhood is not always perfect and vicitms of this are not attention-seekers being ungrateful. A memoir I’ll remember for a good while.

I have never read a more raw book. Mccurdy has this incredible way of just flaying herself open. Her book shows her amazing depth of thought, intelligence and humour. 

Somehow she made me laugh in this absolutely horrifying story. 

I hope to see more from her as a writer if that is what she wants. If not, I am so grateful we have this book.

I could not put this memoir down. Jennette’s writing was a well-balanced blend of emotion, reflection, and lightheartedness. So much of her story had me thinking “this cannot be real”, and reading about her growth and healing caused me to reflect on my life and relationships in new ways.
