Wow. This book blew me out of the water, I could not put it down and NOT think about it. Growing up watching Jennette McCurdy daily, watching everything that went down on social media, and reading it through Jen's POV was just wow. This book is divided into the first half which describes the abused experienced by her mother to the second half (after), which describes the after-effects. Jennette's journey through fame and adulthood is a tough one, yet beautifully written and I am so happy she has been able to find her voice and tell her story.
