Fast, juicy read. Jennette McCurdy is a talented writer. She never minimized or hid her abuse, the way she tells it it's clear as day, yet she managed to tell her truth with humor and vivid detail, and I could picture every scene. I felt sad for Jennette but felt her resilience throughout the entire story. Overall this book deals with tough moments but is not particularly sad or dark -- still, check the trigger warnings on this one.

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 )
