Wow. I remember watching Nickelodeon as a kid and thinking how cool it must be to star on these shows. While Jennette's story certainly isn't everyone's story, I don't think it's terribly uncommon. As stories come out, its becoming more and more common for young actors to have been through abuse to some degree. This book, and various other stories, have completely changed my POV surrounding childhood fame. Not a single person, especially a child, should have to experience this kind of trauma and abuse. 

Everyone wants fame to some degree... but is it worth it?

It was so difficult to read about the abuse from her mother. Children trust and love so blindly. Its just cruel to take advantage of that and break down a child into something you wanted for yourself but never had. To imagine the amount of stress and burden Jennette was carrying at such a young age is a painful reminder that unfortunately there are family situations as bleak as hers. I hope through her recovery she is able to grow and show herself the unconditional love she gave to those who were not deserving

Wow. What an important book. The author's candor and perseverance are just so amazing. So much of her experience are things I could never relate to, but some are, and I'm grateful for her reflections and wisdom. I highly recommend this book to anyone who likes memoirs. It's one of the best I've read.
