Great review Zoe! Glad you like it!:) reply | flag
awesome i just placed a hold on it!! it’s truly heartbreaking what she went through and i’m glad she’s ready to share her story with us, we should treat it with the utmost respect 
Where did you listen to it? I cant find it in my go to audiobook app :( 
this is great. I have it on my tbr. After what a friend has told me about it and the things I've been hearing it certainly sounds like a must-read book so I'm very interested to get to it.

It might take a hot minute, but if you have access to a library digital catalogue, it might be there too.
@dida libro.fm is where i listened! 
listening to it now on libro.fm and I'm hooked 
you made a really great point about major media outlets. I feel like they've really been trying to distill the entire memoir into the "burnt-out child star" narrative they like. They've also been trying to stir up drama between Jennette and Miranda & Ariana. Pretty scummy. @Ivy thanks! i get that it’s a more clickable story to fixate on the public “drama” between public figures and nickelodeon but it’s just so disrespectful. she even said in an interview with GMA after being asked about the hush money something like “i said what i wanted to say about it in the book, but the book is so much more than that, and my life can’t be distilled into a single headline” yesterday which i absolutely loved 
Being a child of abuse from my dad & my mom is a narcissist, I'm interested in the book. My mom mirrors her so much! My mom & dad would walk into while I was getting dressed, or even when I was in the shower to "use the bathroom" we had a glass door on our shower. Took me years to get over the one I've had my last place that was glass. I had anorexia as a kid not that my mom shower me how, but she encouraged me to not eat. She'd believe me when I made excuses not to eat supper. My Dad would even tell me do I really need to eat this or that. I was basically skin & bones till I was in my 20s. Now that I'm my 40s I'm finally eating right, exercising & I stopped talking to my parents almost 3 years ago this Sept. Best decision I ever made! I feel reborn!
Good for her for writing this! I've started a narcissist daughter blog for my therapy
Think Cinderella, that was me as a kid till my 20s when my parents "let me move out" but their abuse didn't end there. They'd text or call me with their abuse. 
Brilliant review! Perfectly sums up this amazing memoir and you made some great points about being mindful about what media we consume and looking beyond the screen to the actual people behind the camera. I enjoyed reading this. 
Great review! You made a really big point that this book is not about Nickelodeon. 
Haven't read this yet, but looking forward to it. Your review made me think of Sarah Polley's "Run Towards The Danger", which also has a lot of content on the difficulties of being a child actor. 
Fantastic review! Very well said 😊 I brought the book and I can't put it down, it's that good. I pray she writes more, I'm hooked, can't wait for the movie 🎥 on this book going to be awsome. I happened to buy this book and I can't seem to put it down, it's that interesting. I'm waiting for a movie 🎥 to come out on it and I'll be the first in line Jeanette McCurdy, lmfprao 😂. You wrote a Master Piece. 
Great review! I can't wait to finish this one 
What a brilliant and THOUGHTFUL review, fullll of cuss to chew on. You have made my reading this book currently much illumined. Ty 
You've absolutely nailed this review. It's a blunt, heart wrenching read and it took me many sittings to read it - I just felt so angry throughout it. 
This review is excellent! Well said!
