Her life has been so absolutely messed up and sharing her story took a lot of courage. Great as an audiobook, read by the author. Wishing her nothing but easier and peaceful days

Love her for her honesty. My only complaint is that in the “After” section in the book some of the time jumps between chapters kinda threw me but nothing that was that bad.

I have infinite respect for Jennette McCurdy after reading this book.

The feat of surviving an *immensely* twisted childhood, doing a LOT of work on yourself, and then sharing it with the world without vanity by the age of 30...hoo.

Relatable (thankfully not the specifics, but the emotions + patterns), good humored in spite of it all, and inspiring; worth your time (..and also worth the wait in the library request line, ha).

So. On one hand I am so thankful to have read this book, it shows Jennette struggling in a way that I, as an icarly fan, never knew. I struggled with similar self image issues while growing up so it just solidifies that Jennette is my kind of people.
However, if you are sensitive to eating disorders I urge you to read with caution. She does get fairly graphic in some descriptions involving her eating disorders.

That being said, I would 100% read this again!
