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.

A well written easy to read memoir. The stories were sometimes hard to read because of the nature of them. Coming from someone struggling to handle familial ties, it really struck a cord.

Impressive story showing the downsides of child actors’ lives in the world of Hollywood and what it can do to families. Some parts are very challenging and this story contains an array of topics that need a content warning .

Fast, juicy read. Jennette McCurdy is a talented writer. She never minimized or hid her abuse, the way she tells it it's clear as day, yet she managed to tell her truth with humor and vivid detail, and I could picture every scene. I felt sad for Jennette but felt her resilience throughout the entire story. Overall this book deals with tough moments but is not particularly sad or dark -- still, check the trigger warnings on this one.
