While iCarly wasn’t a must-watch show for me, I still grew up around its fandom, especially having been a huge Drake & Josh fan. I knew who Jennette McCurdy was, Sam to Miranda Cosgrove’s Carly. The show was like every other Nickelodeon and Disney TV show at the time—silly, cheesy, mindless. I was much more obsessed with the careers of the Disney Channel teens, following Miley and Zac and the Jonas Brothers every move so I never paid much attention to Nick’s stars.
In recent years, however, as more came out about “The Creator”, as Jennette refers to him in her book, I started reading more and more into the behind-the-scenes at Nick. And of course, I heard whisperings about how Jennette was treated, and how crazy her mom apparently was.
Nothing can prepare you for what Jennette reveals in these pages. It’s insane and awful what all she went through at the hands of her own mother, and you would have never known it. Jennette writes her story with blunt honesty, not trying to sugarcoat. Only trying to convey how her feelings changed over the years toward her career and her family. She’s a great writer and storyteller, and I’m glad she got to a healthy point in her life to share everything. A very eye-opening autobiography that gives you a deep glimpse into the harsh reality of childhood stardom.
