I took my time reading this book, I wanted to make sure I heard everything. I've wanted to read it since it was released and it was worth the wait. There are parts that are difficult due to the content but this story is important to hear. Jeanette's story of loving her mother while acknowledging the trauma she endured is something I know many can relate to. This book brought me comfort in my own journey in a strange way. All my best to her for being so open and so willing to not shy away from letting it out there.

I don’t rate autobiographies/memoirs but WOW. Ms. Jennette McCurdy, the woman that you are. I felt all the things. But I’m most captivated by her ability to tell her story (which I’m so glad I got to hear thru the audio) in this lighthearted, humorous tone. It’s quite a feat for such s heavy story. She’s a great storyteller. As a kid who grew up watching iCarly, you kinda feel this guilt and sadness knowing that something you loved so much was causing someone so much misery. It makes me happy that her healing journey is underway. I also wasn’t prepared to relate to it as much as I did… maybe we all need a lil therapy??
