challenging emotional hopeful reflective sad fast-paced

4.0

A very digestible book broken down into moments rather than a long reflective narrative. Listening to McCurdy read this herself was heartbreaking at times, especially as you hear what is obvious as abuse to an adult but understandably, not an adoring child manipulated since birth. I truly hope that McCurdy found mostly healing and peace in sharing her story so intimately.

My first real attempt with an audio book, really enjoyed!

A gripping story behind a face always smiling for the camera. A very real depiction of what it can look like growing up as a child star, and growing up wirth a narcisistic parent.
I command her for being so honest about her journey and her feelings and even about the intimate things that happened to her.

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!
