We begin looking at her mom through the eyes of a hopeful, desperate, eager-to-please child who’s faced with situations even adults shouldn’t have to look at. We end with a strong woman recognizing the injustice of what’s done to her, and having the strength and courage to fight past it.
McCurdy explores toxic relationships, eating disorders, and what being in the child entertainment industry really means for a pleasing child.
Her commentary on people and social situations is blunt and often very amusing.
She describes the world in such a way that it’s obvious she’s decided she should come finally come first. She’s bold and humble in the face of every shitty situation life throws at her. I thought it was a great book.

Her story was hard to hear. She suffered a lot of abuse and had a damaging self-image.
It goes to show how poorly we treat child actors and how it takes them a long time to seek the help they need. I hope she finds her passion and so far, I think she’s doing well at writing. She’s unflinching in her honest storytelling.
This book was rightly hyped as one of the better celebrity memoirs.
Use caution & look at the content warnings before reading.
