anyways, jennette's tone is like nothing i've ever seen, so blunt in such a selfless way,
let me add that booktok bitches need to get their hands off this book if all they're reading is coho, this is a real woman you people, not some fictional woman going through awful things you've been desensitized to.
my favorite quotes:
"I throw on my best fake smile. Mom doesn’t notice the smile is fake. She thinks I genuinely love the gift. She tells me to put the outfit on for my party." (ch.1)
"Suddenly I’m embarrassed I gave Mom my screenplay. I’m ashamed. How could I be so stupid? She would never support this." (ch.24)
"She wanted this. And I wanted her to have it. I wanted her to be happy. But now that I have it, I realize that she’s happy and I’m not. Her happiness came at the cost of mine. I feel robbed and exploited."
"I’m allowed to hate someone else’s dream, even if it’s my reality." (ch.65)
"'Jennette…' Laura says, pausing to rub her lips together, which she does every time she feels like she’s about to say something important. 'This is what recovery looks like.' (ch.71)
"I want my life to be in my hands. Not an eating disorder’s or a casting director’s or an agent’s or my mom’s. Mine." (ch.87)
and for a more light-hearted quote::
"There is such finality in Steven’s eyes that I know I’m getting nowhere near that dick for the foreseeable future." (ch.74)
i think i need additional TWS bc the ones i have are not specific enough. graphic descriptions of bulimia and anorexia, and more specifically severe purging. along with mommy issues, body dysphoria, intrusive thoughts, panic attacks, addiction, and OCD spirals.

a bit of critique: i wish i had more glimpse of the process of how and when she gradually accepted the fact that her mom abused her before she finally came to acknowledge it.
anws, looking forward to her debut novel! she has written her story so strategically with humor on this book and still managed to be HONEST about her feelings and experiences. i anticipate and am even curious about what would it be like for jennette to write a novel, and pursue the dream that her mom initially did not support. i am especially curious about her ideas and creativity that is more than acting as this, i claim to be, is her transition era where we finally see her as Jennette McCurdy, no more as Sam Puckett. i'm sure with a bestselling book as this, she is just starting, and she still has a lot more to show. (i hope especially in the literary world) ;')
ps. nickelodeon sucks.
