Wow. What an important book. The author's candor and perseverance are just so amazing. So much of her experience are things I could never relate to, but some are, and I'm grateful for her reflections and wisdom. I highly recommend this book to anyone who likes memoirs. It's one of the best I've read.

I completely understand this is Jeanette’s story and she is still walking on her journey, there are moment within this book, I wish she could provide more clarity as to how she felt. Still a very in depth take on a child who grew up with a tumultuous relationship with her parents.

A tragic biography that gives an insight of the horrors of being a child actress, the effects of abuse, and the ordeal of a certain cartoon company keeping things under wraps. Tragic, upsetting yet humorous at times.

Beautifully written

Books of this nature are normally difficult to get through. Not this one. The pace of the book is perfect. There are no parts of Jennette’s story that drag. The story is very absorbable in a manner that you are never found wanting. There are parts here and there that are graphically sexual, but this doesn’t dilute from what is a very well written message of how Child acting ruined the childhood of a talented actress. Reader should check the content warnings before reading.

So happy for her that she is doing things for herself instead of because it’s expected. We love you Jennette 🫶🏼
