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.

Josh Peck, most famous for the TV show Drake and Josh features his memoir highlighting the opposite of his successes. This was a frank memoir about Josh’s struggles with an acting career, alcohol addiction, body image issues and family problems.
I found it rather sad how hard Josh was on himself. This book was also refreshing from any celebrity memoir to not hear a person brag on all their achievements.
If you want a memoir featuring someone’s real struggles and the icing on the cake is that life does not always go as we hope, this one is for you.

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 🙃
