The Real Deal
She really breaks out of the Sam role with this book and into her own adult career as a writer. It’s refreshing to see her deal with raw traumatic events and make steps towards bettering herself.

definitely pick this up
I am a child of the iCarly era of Nickelodeon, so when Jennette reemerged on the scene a few years ago with this eye-catching title, I knew it was going to be a must read. I had no idea of the hardships she was facing during her time on television and reading this definitely puts things into a different perspective when I rewatch any of her old content. I highly HIGHLY recommend listening to the audio for this as Jennette has this way of reading it where you can tell that writing and performing this book was an act of catharthis for her to move into a healthier place in her life. Definitely a hard read overall, but worth it if you like memoirs.

You never know what going on in someone life
I was late to this book mainly because I'm not a big reader and due to the extremely mixed reviews I was getting. I watched the tv interviews the podcasts all that and the book sounded great something that brought attention to the dangers of child acting (or children having to work at all). As someone who grew up watching ICarly and Sam & Cat I enjoyed getting a small perspective of a child actor. For everyone who thinks they won't be able to get into the book I recommend the audiobook version. Janette narrated the audio version and had a really fluent and intriguing reading style.

Authentically Painful
This is such an honest memoir and Jennette does an amazing job of making each chapter’s thoughts sound authentically the age she was at that time. My heart broke for little Jennette and the abuse she endured thinking it was love. When you believer your abuser is doing what they do out of love for you, it is earth shattering to realize and accept that that’s not the case and never was. Jennette does an incredible job of showcasing the grief and pain that comes along with that realization.

I can see why she was glad her mom died
I can understand why Jennette McCurdy was glad her mom died. Her memoir details the life of a child doing what her abusive mom wants her to do and doing everything in her power to make her mom proud and happy. The writing is engaging and puts you right in to what she was thinking and feeling through everything. I found her story quite fascinating.

Heartbreaking
Never have I demolished a book so quickly yet savored every word. I don’t think I can say anything but hasn’t already been said but W O W this book resonated so deeply with me, it even gave me nightmares about my own overbearing mother. I really identified with this book and I’m eternally grateful to Jeannette for letting us into her life. 10 stars
