• I’ve mixed feelings about this one, I’d heard rave reviews about it so expected to love it, but it was ok
• Like how it ended tho 
• I wouldn’t recommend

dark emotional hopeful sad medium-paced

4.5

I enjoyed learning about a child star’s experience of fame and the way she had to deal with being in the spotlight from such a young age. It is by no means a relatable read, but I think the reader can empathize with the author quite a bit. 

Some aspects of wanting to please your mother no matter what and resenting her at the same time are so complex and well-written.

challenging emotional funny hopeful inspiring reflective sad fast-paced

5.0

Knowing all the heavy topics mentioned throughout this book, one would thing it'd be a hard read, but Jennette's wonderful writing style never makes it hard. She bravely and humorously writes about it, and boy oh boy does it make you cry at times. I don't think I'm ever going to be able to watch anything she starred in, because knowing what was going on just sours everything. I'm happy she's doing much better now.

dark emotional funny hopeful inspiring reflective sad tense medium-paced

Two things - I started reading this on my mum's birthday without realising it and only figured out the start date a few days later. Secondly, I'm so glad the bitch is dead. Fuck Jennette Mccurdy's mum.
