Jennette McCurdy is a born writer. She writes in a way that is raw, personable, and to the point with just a splash of dry humor and a hefty amount of powerful truths. McCurdy's voice is distinguished and unique in her writing.
McCurdy tells her story with devastating honesty. She shares events that I don't think I would ever feel comfortable speaking out loud to another human being, much less open about them up to the whole world to read or hear. But that devastating honesty is what made this book a hard-hitter - made it feel more real, less polished, and in my opinion, intensely significant.
She did not have to write this, but the world is better for it. I would recommend to anyone to read this book. It is a microcosm of the horrible, beautiful reality of being a modern human being and the capacity for healing and assuming responsibility over our own lives in the face of tragedies that happen to us.
I cannot wait to see what other kind of books McCurdy goes on to write.

I grew up watching iCarly and I loved it, Sam was actually my favourite character, but after reading this I have a very different picture of what was going on in Jennette McCurdy's life in my head.
This book was extremely hard to read. It was sad and at times downright horrifying, but in a weird way I feel proud of Jennette for getting the help she needed and learning that she is allowed to not forgive her mother for what she put her through.
