I debated even leaving a review, because these are her own words, and I really don't like to review someone's memoir because it's their story and I would never truly want to assign a rating to that. However, I knew this was an automatic five stars from the get go because it is just SO well written. I've never read a memoir that had such great writing that you just immersed yourself in the words and were enthralled by the story that was being told about the own author's life. I knew that Jennette had suffered from some abuse in her life, and has been through traumatic events in her childhood and into her adulthood. But, I had no idea the depth and level of the things she suffered from. I felt deeply for her, as someone who has been through a traumatic childhood and adulthood as well, and it resonates with me. If you're looking for scandals and tea about actual celebrities, she really doesn't talk about that. She hints and insinuates, but the bulk of this is about her relationship with her abusive mother. The book is riddled with triggering content, so please be mindful of this when reading. It really makes you think about just how much these child actors and child stars have to go through and the impact that carries into adulthood; mentally, physically, and emotionally. It's such an impactful and poignant book, and certainly something everyone should read.
