challenging emotional informative sad fast-paced

---

In Jeanette McCurdy’s memoir she discusses her experience as a child actor and the impact that her mother had on her childhood. McCurdy she’s light on her emotionally and physically abusive relationship with her mom. She is so open and raw about her experiences with her mom, acting, and her personal mental health. 

I did however find that some of the language she used to describe her moms cancer was ablest. Which is why I read it four stars instead of five.

emotional funny hopeful sad tense fast-paced

---

An incredibly gracious and honest memoir that focuses on an enmeshed, dysfunctional family system, child abuse, OCD and eating disorders, exploitation of child actors, and grief...but also perseverance, friendship, and healing. McCurdy narrates the audiobook, and I listened to it straight through. Her delivery is compelling and, at times, darkly humorous.

Selected "transphobia" but more specifically, casual use of an intersex slur.
