I read this book beginning to end faster than I have anything in a long time! The pacing is excellent, and Jennette's voice is distinct and incredibly vulnerable. It made me very interested to look into other writing/directing work that she's done.
It is amazing that she could put so much vulnerability into this book, but I think it's a good indicator of her growth, which is ultimately what the book is about. I'm glad she is in a place where she can speak out about her experiences as a child actor, and I hope the success of this book makes it worthwhile for her. Amazing read.

I borrowed a digital copy from my local library and the wait started at like 12 weeks but luckily they got more copies so I was able to get it in 3. It was back to 12 again when I turned it in.
