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.

Listening to memoirs is definitely the better way to consume the book compared to just reading it alone. Hearing it in her own voice just adds another layer of authenticity. I feel like she really dives deep down into her experiences with Nickelodeon and by the end you really understand her mental place when the iCarly reboot came around. Great listen.

She is a beautiful writer. I'm glad she found her path in life and is living in her purpose. I wish I could meet her one day, I've always thought she was so similar on ICarly. I saw her for herself and not the role she played. I wish her success in this life even more than she has achieved.
