Wasn’t sure if I wanted to start the year off with a memoir, but this didn’t disappoint. It was insightful, funny, and reflective. An ode to building the life you want when you’re ready. A reminder to be mindful of the company you keep and to cling tight to those who support you and push you to be your best. I loved this book. It made me laugh AND got me thinking. Deserves every star.

 I loved Josh Peck in The Amanda Show and Drake and Josh. So naturally, I was very excited to see a book which I thought would be a behind-the-scenes look at what is was like being a child actor on both those shows.

He definitely talks about all of his project he acted in but it's more of a footnote in his biographical story which I found way more interesting. I found Peck to be charmingly candid and lovably self-deprecating. You can't not like him.

This book was pleasantly unexpected and highly worth a read!

Nostalgia hit me deep when I listened to Josh talk about his life and just laid it out bare for the audience. Short but authentic & honest when he discussed briefly the actual money he received for his projects but also discussing his drug abuse, alcoholism, being sober and seeing a therapist.
