funny reflective sad fast-paced

5.0

Beautifully sad and well written. Jennette was vulnerable in her memoir and what she endured as a child actor with an abusive mother. It hurt my heart to hear the struggles she went through. I’m so glad she is doing much better!

nokvi's review against another edition

challenging dark emotional reflective sad tense fast-paced

5.0

How does one rate a memoir? A window into someone else's life? How does one consume someone's joy, their trauma, their ups and down and then proceed to give it a ranking (I ask as I go on to rate this)

This was ... heavy, insightful and unabashedly truthful. I can not effectively tell you how much this book has impacted me. A life of living someone else's dream in the hellish landscape that is the child star industry. No words can communicate this book and the pressures of having an abusive mother.
