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!

dark emotional fast-paced

5.0

This is one if not the best memoir I’ve ever read. Not only is the writing itself compelling, but the story is hard to read and important to tell. Absolutely massive trigger warnings in this one for abuse and eating disorders, though if you find yourself in a space where you can read this content, I think it’s so powerful

challenging reflective fast-paced

3.75

I held off on reading this memoir, despite numerous recommendations, as I was reluctant to read about some of the harder topics this book covers. The short chapters read like glimpses of memory and I found that structure allowed for a  
lighter covering of challenging issues without glossing over them.

I don’t think it’s the must-read some claim it to be, if you’re not able to handle the topics in this book, you’re not missing out if you don’t read it, but it is an interesting insight into a young life that is unique in some ways, but universal in others.
