Jennette is so open in this. She’s detailed but to the point, and candid when baring truths many people wouldn’t ever face in their lifetime. It’s difficult to read at points when hearing what she went through as a child and young adult, but it’s worth reading every line.

Wow. This was incredible. The writing style, the emotion, the honesty - everything. I finished this in one week and would highly recommend the audio book to hear Jennette tell the story herself. It covers some tough themes, so definitely read the trigger warnings before reading! All-in-all, an excellent read/listen!!

I would have preferred to hear more about her heading journey. The ending felt rushed to wrap things up.

The book talks about what happen in her life in order and gives details . Jeannette had anxiety , self loathing , had eating disorder, health issues. These issues happen when her mom push her into being an actress. Jeannette’s mom  wanted to live jennette life through her and anted to control very single in life and always dream of being famous actress making jennette a star. Mom made extreme disturbing hen she was 11 years old taught about calorie restriction , bleaching her, whitening her teeth, her mom completely ruined her life, its not right to bathing your daughter until she was 17 yers old. What i was shocked finding these things. When got the lead in the show I Carly playing Sam Puckett her loved food but she delevopeda eating disorder. Later on she on this other Nickelodeon show Sam and Cat. Ariana who played Cat. In the show, Jennete find out that Ariana as getting paid more that her. Jennette didnt like Ariana gets to miss film the show to go press tours, recording music videos. I remember this episode where Ariana was not in this episode most of the episode called lock in a box. She made acted with the box.  Dan Schneider wouldn’t let her miss filming days she’s been comparing her self it’s Ariana like she been personal attacked and robbed in this industry . Dan Schneider got exposed for being weird and other accusation like inappropriate sexual behavior writing inappropriate things in his shows always showing feet. On icarly, she was getting yelled at by Dan to reshoot the scene several times she as a kissing here uncomfortable with and Dan wanted a real kiss but her costar helped her out ( Nathan Kress), Dan wanted to her pictures of her in a bikini in wardrobe fitting was explicitly. He encourage drinking alcohol when most of the cast was underage , he always compare icarly with the victorious cast ( Dan directed )
