The themes and events are not easy to deal with though. Despite the book being written in a fast pace and with great flow, it's not an easy read to digest. She is very upfront and no nonsense about her problems and issues, which makes the book very compelling, but it also may be triggering for people going through similar problems. The honesty and the straight-forward nature of how Jennette McCurdy describes her life is a huge strength of the book, but it does make it harder to read through in one sitting. I personally divided it into 10 chapter sections, and I think it worked out pretty well in not overwhelming my emotions to the point of outright depression.
Overall, I highly recommend this book to everyone. Whether you know who Jennette McCurdy is or not, whether you're into memoirs or not, whether you're good or bad with books, this is one that you should definitely seek out and read. It's a great addition to any library, and I can't sing its praises enough. It's well-written, it's witty, it's traumatic, it's funny, it knows how to tell a story, and it knows how to keep that story engaging.

I loved this book and the raw vulnerability with which Jeannette shared her story. We often don't think we have fucked up childhoods until we hear about someone else's fucked up childhood.
