Wow! This memoir was everything you’d hope for in a memoir; emotional, humorous in places and truly remarkable!
I have to applaud Jeanette for sharing sure a vulnerable part of her life - rare behind the rosy tinted glasses of child fame. Her journey of mental illness manifesting and ultimately trying to overcome them when surrounded by toxic relationships both with herself and mother - really powerful and though provoking.
Jeanette McCurdy is such a fantatsic storyteller in her writing style and the short chapters and chronological retelling of her life makes it an incredibly easy book to read and follow along in her emotional journey.
I wish I had read this sooner and can absolutely see myself picking up a physical copy to read again in future.
