I get the hype, really and truly. In fact, I think this is the first hyped book I read that was actually fantastic and deserves all the hype it’s getting. I physically read this and listened to the audiobook at the same time, and if you have library access/the funds to get both, I would 10/10 recommend this (with reservations to trigger warnings).

McCurdy is a fantastic writer and tells her memoir via chronological vignettes of her life from being a little girl until today and her storytelling ability is wild. She was able to capture her younger self’s voice in a way that wasn’t cringy (which most people can’t do) while splicing in current introspection and it flows so well!

If you do want to read this, I would heavily recommend looking into content warnings. Like please please please, because I feel like if you went through similar things, her account is so raw that it could either be cathartic triggering.
