5.0
It's weird rating someone's personal memoir, but I cannot give this anything else than 5 stars.
It's a horrific account of childhood abuse, the child entertainment industry and the fallout on one's mental health. Jennette McCurdy has spoken up and laid her whole soul bare. It's a witness account that should be used as an example by law-makers and everyone else in the industry.
On top of that, the writing is excellent. I wouldn't call any of the book funny but McCurdy's writing is bittersweet tongue in cheek. McCurdy has proven herself as an amazing writer. I couldn't put this book down
Even though it's non-fiction please check the trigger warnings and keep yourself save.
