Impressive story showing the downsides of child actors’ lives in the world of Hollywood and what it can do to families. Some parts are very challenging and this story contains an array of topics that need a content warning .

Fast, juicy read. Jennette McCurdy is a talented writer. She never minimized or hid her abuse, the way she tells it it's clear as day, yet she managed to tell her truth with humor and vivid detail, and I could picture every scene. I felt sad for Jennette but felt her resilience throughout the entire story. Overall this book deals with tough moments but is not particularly sad or dark -- still, check the trigger warnings on this one.

Great book. A very dark life story about Jennettes terrible upbringing with an extremely controlling narcisistic mother. I couldn't stop reading it. To anyone reading this book who relates to her story, please read Dr. Ramani Durasulvas books about navigating narcissism. I highly recommend them.
