this book is so beautifully written, with its complex characters and real storyline, every word on every page hits home. Jennette is an amazing writer and this book is gut-wrenchingly beautiful . reading about her past and how far she had come is so inspiring. so thankful for this book and the complex but beautiful plot.

Incredibly heartbreaking, distressing, and also funny and well written. I enjoyed listening on audiobook because Jennette’s voice brought so much to the words, especially when she does voices of other people in her life.

A former child actress writing her memoir of growing up with an emotionally manipulative, narcissistic mother who instilled an eating disorder and projected her own failed dreams/wishes onto her child. Her mother had cancer for years and used it to manipulate those around her, used guilt and shame to manipulate her daughter into having a career that she didn’t really want to begin with.
