I don't rate memoirs.

I struggled a lot with whether or not to rate this, but I've come to the conclusion that I don't want to rate memoirs. It feels wrong. However, I still feel like they are worth talking about, so I'll give my thoughts regardless. 

If, for some reason, you have not picked up this book, you need to do it now. Get in your car and go buy it. Go to the library. Buy it on Amazon if you have a Kindle. I don't care what you do, but you've got to read this book. Or better yet, listen to it. I listened to the audiobook (read by the author) and I believe that this is the superior way to experience the book. You can feel Jennette's emotions so much more clearly. When her voice broke talking about her mother's abuse, I teared up. When she talked about why she turned down the iCarly reboot, I was so proud of her. When she visited her mom's grave for the last time, I was so full of joy for her.

TL;DR–this book is absolutely worth the read. 

Even though I don't think I have the right to say this, I'm glad Jennette McCurdy's mom died too.
