I listened to Jeanette in her audiobook and it was equal parts cathartic and heart breaking. This book is fascinating and raw and I am so grateful to her for writing it. Hearing her perspective shift throughout her life and see her gain strength and understanding was beautiful and inspiring and painful.

I completely understand this is Jeanette’s story and she is still walking on her journey, there are moment within this book, I wish she could provide more clarity as to how she felt. Still a very in depth take on a child who grew up with a tumultuous relationship with her parents.

While I, personally, would never classify this book as "hilarious" and "funny" as many have, it is an honest look by a witty writer at coming to terms with an abusive parent and all the issues that come with that.

Teen sitcoms were not my thing, even when I was younger. However, I still knew of iCarly and recognized Miranda and Jennette when I saw the ads. Jennette’s memoir shows a deeper, more disturbing look into both her upbringing and the behind-the-scenes of the early 2000s Nickelodeon studio workplace. I have seen clips from Quiet On Set, and I think Jennette’s book, even though it focuses more on her own inner thoughts and feelings during this time (and doesn’t explicitly name Dan Schneider), was the catalyst for it. The young actors who tried to speak out, but were silenced, didn’t have the same recognition or power as Jennette. While Jennette may have initially regretted not taking the “hush money”, I hope she knows that she’s encouraged a lot of victims to speak out and abusers to, hopefully, receive justice. She also does a great job of portraying how you may love and adore someone, but that doesn’t mean they didn’t hurt you. Her feelings are complicated and I applaud her for being able to write her story in such a compelling way.
