i grew up watching drake&josh (still one of my favourite tv shows) and adore mean creak so to hear about josh’s life while these pieces of media were being made was fun. really well written and you can definitely tell he has a background in comedy.

Well written and very interesting. I never knew that peck struggled with drugs and was very interested to hear about his struggles with weight and self esteem after watching him as a kid

I absolutely love learning how down-to-earth and relatable some celebrities are. To find out there are genuine people underneath the facade of Hollywood.

Josh's memoir was raw and brutally honest. He shared his experiences in candid detail, and I found his journey to find sobriety and happiness oddly relatable.

Mixing in dark and dry humor at times, with witty commentary. This felt very much like it came from the heart.

I remember growing up with Drake & Josh, and the Amanda Bynes show... They were role models, and reading about the most humbling of experiences and poor life choices Josh made throughout his life was a healthy reminder that we don't always have it altogether, and that's okay! We just can't stop trying.

This is an actor I’ve seen on a lot of things but could never figure out where else I’ve seen him or how I know him. I’ll always know now. I really enjoyed this book. He has looked in himself and talked to his readers naked, or so it felt - like if I’d written it, that’s how I would feel about it. Good job Josh! Good luck with your future endeavors 🙃

I was mostly interested in his weight journey and being a child star, and those parts were very interesting, but they only made up a very, very small part of the beginning of the book. I’m sure his addiction story will be really impactful to other people, but at this point I’m going to move on from this one. Might revisit

this one made me giggle. i love josh peck and have gained an even greater respect for him after reading this! it was a little repetitive at times and skipped over things i wanted to hear. nonetheless, it was funny, heartwarming and extremely vulnerable. highly recommend on audio!
