Me siento rara puntuando la vida de una persona pero, es un libro que merece tener las 5 estrellas.
Jennette tuvo la valentía de contar su vida, sus traumas, sus trastornos, sus relaciones y los abusos a los que fue sometida desde pequeña y creo que es algo que hay que admirar, porque no cualquiera es capaz de mostrarle al mundo algo tan propio y personal como lo hizo ella.
Espero que Jennette siga adelante.

Not sure why I've heard so many things about this book being funny. Sure, there are a few dryly humorous lines here and there (I listened to the audiobook, so I'm sure that helped with delivery) but, for the most part, it's just really sad.

Others have said the same, but I highly recommend listening to the audiobook read by Jeanette herself. The places that she chokes up that they chose to keep in are powerful. Hard book to categorize as to mood, but it's a good and honest portrayal of abuse, and another in a pile of testimonies as to the ugliness of children's entertainment.
