Like so many people, I couldn't resist the title.  I didn't love it on audio, as she speaks extremely fast and is somewhat monotone, especially in the book's first part, but I enjoyed finishing it on Kindle.  I had to reduce the speed of the book to 0.80 in order not to feel (more) anxious while listening.  Her story of surviving an extremely abusive childhood and Hollywood broke my heart.  At the same time, I was also entertained.  She's witty and insightful about what happened to her and the situations she encountered.  I hope she continues to recover from her childhood.

Numerous trigger warnings should be noted:  eating disorders, an abusive mother who has cancer, and a dysfunctional family, among others.

uses a colonial term for Inuit and an outdated term for intersex people that are both commonly seen as offensive and violent (unless used to self-describe) I also might have missed some CNs, there were a lot of heavy topics

I watched iCarly and Sam & Cat when I was younger and seeing this book written by Jennette McCurdy really surprised me, because I had no idea of her real life. I found her story captivating, intriguing, inspiring, funny, deep, and so much more. I definitely think parts of her story will resonate with me.

Absolutely heartbreaking chronicle of McCurdy’s experience with a narcissistic parent who exploited, abused, and coerced her into eating disorders & a struggle with addiction. McCurdy’s troubled childhood under her mother is one that anyone with an abusive parent can recognize, and her ability to find and create humor is a demonstration of her talent as a writer.
