a dark and emotionally challenging story about finding yourself after spending your whole life moulding yourself in to what someone else demands you to be, in the midst of grief and mental illness, in an industry that only cares if you’re making them money. really interesting and beautifully written. hearing jennette’s thoughts through each moment being recounted was interesting and vulnerable. it felt like a story of importance, that needed to be told. hard to put down but i did have to take a break in the middle as it was so hard to listen to, but listening to it read by jennette herself felt very impactful. definitely worth a read.

Literally one of the most honest, well-written, gutting, and captivating books I've ever read. I wasn't even a Jennette McCurdy fan when I first picked up her memior, but I have never felt more seen than reading this book. It's incredibly engrossing, deeply distressing, and just genuinely raw. I listened to it on audio, then reread it myself because it captured experiences and emotions I have felt my whole life but never been able to put into words. I love her, and I think this book healed a part of me.

What a book. I have always wanted to read this book as soon as I heard it was released and I never had the chance until recently. It was what I listened to during my commutes to and from my classes and it was heavy. I wouldn't recommend it to you if you can be triggered by the themes of this book. I listened to her narrate this and there were moments I had to take a pause and really sit with my emotions about this. It was really something. From what we thought was sunshine and rainbows with these shows from our childhood, can be traumatic memories for the actors and they are in this case and for many others. I hope she knows how strong she is and how well loved by many she is.
