WOW. as someone who grew up watching her on TV it’s so refreshing (and at times triggering) to hear her story and watch her grow throughout this memoir. the detail of the storytelling maturing with age is just *chefs kiss* this is a MUST READ

An enlightening but upsetting look into the authors early life as a child actor. As well as the less than great relationship with her mom that enabled such a thing to even happen.
Relationships with moms are so complicated, it's refreshing to hear such a straightforward delivery on how shitty some can truly be.

I can’t rate this book because that seems like rating the life shared within the pages. The memoir was powerful and I felt the author’s sense of relief, recovery, and hope at the end…. A life to build and make HERS - cheers to that!
I really enjoyed so much of this book, for better and for worse. It's definitely a rendition of living under a abusive parent that a lot of people can relate to, with the dark humour and stray moments of peace that come along with a childhood like that.
Jennette writes in a very engaging way, and I love how personable she comes across and how we as readers can understand how she feels and (almost) empathise. A couple of moments where she made from misogynistic comments threw me off, and where the abuse seemed to similar to my own experience, but overall a fantastic book and a great memoir.

Incredible. Extremely profound and interesting look at child actors, complicated relationships, and mental/physical health. A must read.
