This book wasn't necessarily life-changing, but my god was it a fast read, and the story it told had enough sort of twists and turns that it made me not want to put it down. It's a perfect lazy-day read, and Cumming handles the story with a lot of grace and compassion for all involved.

It does speak explicitly of emotional and some physical abuse, which I might have known had I taken more care to read what the book was actually about. Cumming is honest about the abuse and its impact on him, and doesn't come across as speaking in platitudes or preaching that any one method of dealing with the impacts of abuse is the "right" way to do it--he's pretty explicit that it's about his own experience. And there were very few parts where it felt like he was complaining about things like being rich or famous, which I think is something you're always afraid you're going to run into when you're reading a book by a celebrity.

Overall it was a pretty solid, quick read, and I did enjoy it and couldn't put it down!
