Lyttet til lydbog oplæst af forfatter, hvilket jeg tror var en fordel. Jeg er lidt ny i at lytte til lydbøger, da jeg er dårlig til at lytte uden at lave noget imens. Det gør også at koncentrationen flyder lidt, hvilket kan gøre lydbøger uoverskuelige. Men lige når det kommer til denne type bog, en biografi og ikke en roman med omfattende storyline og persongalleri, fungere en lydbog fint. Det giver kun ekstra at få den oplæst af forfatteren selv. Historien er også interessant, og et godt indblik i den komplicerede kærlighed der kan være mellem barn og forældre, især når der er usunde bindinger, og en forældre med klare mentale problemer. I dette tilfælde at den ekstreme narcissistiske slags. Noget jeg tror alle kan lære og få perspektiv af. Og at der er krydret lidt Hollywood drys ud over skader heller ikke. Det gør heller intet i forhold til historien, at man ikke er bekendt med Jenette McCurdy, hvilket jeg ikke personligt var, da historien stadig står fint for sig selv. Jeg kunne lide den men var trods alt heller ikke mere draget af den end at den var fin at lytte til mens jeg arbejdede og var beskæftiget på anden vis, så er ikke sikker på, at jeg havde været specielt vild med den hvis jeg skulle læse den i printet form. Men fin underholdning for a rainy day.

sprinkled with raw emotion and humour, jennette is refreshingly candid in this harrowing, insightful read.

I find it so hard to rate and review memoirs sometimes, because how can you rate someone's life? The struggles they went through? I like having ratings through so what I'm going to put down is just because I liked Jennette's writing style and I've always been a fan of hers since I was young - I will be picking up any other book she writes.

i feel weird giving a rating to memoirs like this, but this one was just so special.
all the attention grabbing headlines i’ve seen about this book have been false in my opinion. not because they’re not factual, but because this memoir cannot be reduced to a simple clickbaity headline. this is so much more than her childhood acting & so much more than her time on nickelodeon. i’m glad she gave that period of her life appropriate expansion in the book, but didn’t stay there. jennette is so much more than her time on those tween sitcoms. she explores intense feelings, sometimes unexplainable feelings about grief & resentment. her growth & newfound identity should be the focus of ALL media relating to this memoir.
after reading about her acting career, i almost feel guilty about the amount of love i had for icarly. that show was & still is a comfort show, one that makes me laugh & i cried like a baby when it ended. after this, i don’t know how i’ll ever be able to watch it the same way. she hid so much pain & i feel so bad so many people in her life failed her.
jennette was so candid & open about many things that haunted her for a long time: her childhood, acting, her mother, her relationship with food. i felt like i was witness to such growth over the book’s pages.
also, the title is chef’s kiss. i am forever an endorser of severing family ties & setting boundaries for those who are no longer beneficial for your mental health, even if— especially if they’re family. i applaud jennette for that title.
this book is currently sold out everywhere & also crashed the barnes & noble website. it makes my heart immensely happy to see so many people wanting to read this book & send jeannette their support. i hope she knows how much we all love her & deeply care about her.
