She demonstrates incredible self-awareness in both blunt and subtle ways as she earnestly muses on life’s many complicated and messy nuances layered through an insightful recollection of her harrowing personal story. There are so many ways to resonate and relate to her insecurities and challenges, regardless if you directly share any similar experiences or not. It just feels so raw and honest, and it encouraged a deeper level of introspection into my own life — not that I’m remotely a former childhood star nor have I struggled with the level of abuse or disordered eating she has, but more so from a human being and self-growth perspective.
I’m thoroughly impressed, moved, and inspired by this beautifully executed book. Rooting for Jennette!

The description of Jennette's childhood and the relationship with her mother (and the terrible impact both had on her even after the death of Mom) are truly heartbreaking and I am happy that she has been able to close that chapter.
So many trigger warnings...
The German translation was good and the audiobook narration was well-done!

what she went through was so disturbing but i'm glad she felt empowered enough to change the tide and share her story. i'm sure this is a very important book for her and others who have gone through something similar. read this!!!
