Love! I appreciate how she really put everything out there in the open-bad and good. 
I can’t explain how listening to this impacted me. I grew up watching iCarly and loving how Jennette brought Sam to life but as a kid i didn’t see that she was just a great actress, she was fooling everything.

Jennette McCurdy knows how to hook, line, and stinker her audience. Every chapter opens in unique, round-a-bout ways. No way is she telling you the story of her life in a stale biographical manner. She is capturing the trauma, tension, and excitement in highly creative ways that made me forget I was reading nonfiction. The ending could have used the same pomp and circumstance the rest of the book received.

A fin de cuentas es chisme, pero es un libro entretenido con buen ritmo, aunque el tema puede ser escalofriante, el abuso emocional de una madre obsesionada con hacer a su hija famosa, a base de chantaje, manipulación logra su objetivo al precio de la salud mental de su hija, todo el asunto de los trastornos alimenticios y de abuso de alcohol contado desde la perspectiva de la chica es para reflexionar, sobretodo aquellos padres que al no haber podido lograr la fama quieren lograrla a partir de sus hijos.

Amazing memoir, well written, easy to digest. Emotional roller coaster but found myself cheering for Jennette throughout when she was getting herself back.
