A heartbreaking and hilarious memoir by iCarly and Sam & Cat star Jennette McCurdy about her struggles as a former child actor—including eating disorders, addiction, and a complicated relationship with her overbearing mother—and how she retook control of her life.

Jennette McCurdy was six years old when she had her first acting audition. Her mother’s dream was for her only daughter to become a star, and Jennette would do anything to make her mother happy. So she went along with what Mom called “calorie restriction,” eating little and weighing herself five times a day. She endured extensive at-home makeovers while Mom chided, “Your eyelashes are invisible, okay? You think Dakota Fanning doesn’t tint hers?” She was even showered by Mom until age sixteen while sharing her diaries, email, and all her income.

In I’m Glad My Mom Died, Jennette recounts all this in unflinching detail—just as she chronicles what happens when the dream finally comes true. Cast in a new Nickelodeon series called iCarly, she is thrust into fame. Though Mom is ecstatic, emailing fan club moderators and getting on a first-name basis with the paparazzi (“Hi Gale!”), Jennette is riddled with anxiety, shame, and self-loathing, which manifest into eating disorders, addiction, and a series of unhealthy relationships. These issues only get worse when, soon after taking the lead in the iCarly spinoff Sam & Cat alongside Ariana Grande, her mother dies of cancer. Finally, after discovering therapy and quitting acting, Jennette embarks on recovery and decides for the first time in her life what she really wants.

Told with refreshing candor and dark humor, I’m Glad My Mom Died is an inspiring story of resilience, independence, and the joy of shampooing your own hair.

Excellent book. Jeanette’s mother sounds similar to mine in many ways. Everything was always about our mother while my sisters and I were growing up and even now. She’s always the victim, she’s always the best, always the smartest, the greatest cook, no one can ever be right if they are not agreeing with her. Every decision my sisters and I made as children and as adults is wrong because it is not exactly as mother would have done it. If you are not 100% in agreement with everything she says then we are against mother in her eyes. She lies, manipulates, screams when she doesn’t get her way, demands respect while giving no respect to any of us. She is also a hypochondriac. She is poisonous in every sense of the word. She is cruel to everyone around her while claiming that everyone loves her beyond measure. So I understand some of what Jeanette went through and why she shoved down and internalized so much of her pain. I am glad Jeanette found the help she needed and was able to acknowledge and cope with the trauma she suffered at the hands of her mother. This is an excellent book!

Cheldouche

Wow.. There are no words. It’s truly an eye opening read. You really feel for Jennette. It’s as close to the truth of her life as you could get without being her yourself. So many struggles she overcame. Definitely recommend this read.

I’m Glad My Mom Died. This was such a good book! I haven’t been a reader for a while but, this book reignited my love of reading. Would highly recommend!

Lsqueen78

Excellent!. Couldn’t put this book down. I love her for opening up and sharing her life with us. So brave! Bravo.

Kit20474

I love this book. I got this book because it looked good, I’m ecstatic I did. It’s fantastic!! It explains things other people wont speak out about or talk about in general (eating disorders, child acting, grief, and recovery). I absolutely suggest this book to whoever wants to read it.

Me✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

I rly love this book :). I like it lol :D

Siisoo__

intriguing. intriguing read, but it leaves you with way way way more questions than answers. there is not enough transition from chaotic-unhealthy-life to healing-healthy-life and then it just abruptly ends. very very very well written and i hope jennette writes more in the future!

Xiabdhs

Good funny easy read. Good books that recalls my memory with my mom, she is not manipulate as the mom in the book but we do codepend on each other and took a very longtime to broke apart

Brock_zahler

Loved. Loved this book! Jennette is a smart, funny writer with a unique perspective. I empathized a lot with her throughout this book and I think it really shines in the world of celebrity memoirs. I would highly recommend and I can’t wait to see what she writes next!

Cynthia_From_Maui

Solid. Irritably good. Could not put this book down. Jennette shares and opens up about her childhood traumas and struggles and overcoming them. I didn’t even know who Jennette was but after reading her book, I deeply empathize with her and hope she continues her passions and the path of being a very successful writer.

Pandapooh82

Phenomenal ✨. This book is incredible. It’s beautiful to see her success now because with her upbringing and having to be the breadwinner while losing her childhood to acting when she didn’t even want to act really could’ve made her adult life a disaster. We see these child actors and how they struggle in life so to see that she fought to have independence from who she made herself to be so she could please her mom to having her own identity is a wonderful thing. Wishing you ALL the success in life, Jeanette! 🖤 Side note: a lot of people recommend listening to the audio so I chose to do that and I’m so glad I did. Hearing her voice tell her story made it that more impactful.

Pizzzzza Hut

💜. I loved this book so much. It really shows what was going on behind ethers scenes. On TV everybody seems perfect, flawless and everyone wants to be them. Nobody knew about the eating disorders or abuse. Thank you for this amazing book!

Allie thurston

Finished in 2 days!!. Couldn’t put it down! Amazing book!

ConnorC!

Amazing Read. A captivating look into the life of a young girl in the industry. Such an inspiring story of pain and growth.

Nat nat 325

This book is the real deal. This author portrays the reality of living with a narcissist parent. The lasting damage of living with their manipulative behaviour and the grief of the memories. Healing is possible but the author relates the determination it takes to take the focus off the parent and focus on yourself. Great read!

@baeofharry || IG

Powerful and insightful read. Raw and painfully honest. One of the best writing I have read in my life.

Jas Mayhug

Loved!. Love this book, I grow up watching icarly and Sam and cat and Jeannette was my favorite character. It’s so interesting learning about her life and what she has/had to go through. I’m sorry that you have to deal with all of the trauma, but I’m glad you got to turn it into a book that everyone can relate too and enjoyㅤᵕ̈

Ohnik80288

Life shifting. This book came to me at a time in my life where I’ve begun to take responsibility for how I feel. Although our stories are different, the pain, shame and guilt are familiar. Some of us have no idea who we are because we have gone our entire lives being who others wanted us to be; being who we needed to be to keep the peace. The vulnerability, the self-talk, is what makes this story relatable. I saw myself in Jennette. As I moved through her story, I moved through mine, and it felt as though we were on the healing journey together. Thank you, Jennette.

Tifftif954786

5stars!. Absolutely loved it!

Way to go Jennette. I started this book halfway thru yesterday and finished it in just over 24 hours even though I had a raging migraine. At times the brutal honesty was a bit tough, but the journey was well-worth taking. Her tone at each stage of the memoire is reflective of the age, the mindset, the beliefs she is depicting. This story is harrowing, but in such a good way. Though she doesn’t know me, and never will, I am so proud of the strides she has made. I am proud of the courage she holds in sharing those strides with the world. As somebody who struggled to own up to her emotions to herself for so long, displaying herself in this capacity for the world to see truly shows her growth. Jennette, if I ever do see you on the street, I am definitely going to ask about your butter sock—but as a tribute to this monumental memoire and to reflect my inability to come up with original material, not to bring you back to your role as Sam Puckett.

Panda@22

I’m glad my mom died. I love this book so much

Jaycee225

Our moms influence. Insightful perspective on an eating disorder struggle and the emotional rollercoaster connection with our most closest relationships, our parents.

Annoyed Snapchat user 11334

Amazing. Best book I have probably ever read! Very real and very interesting to hear about jennette’s view of the industry! Highly recommend

DrewboneAndy

Honest, gripping, tragic and funny. Beautifully written. I couldn’t put it down. DrewboneAndy

Tikt0kinspidy

I love this book. I feel like I’m in the mind of jennette!!

Pretty998

Deep. The way her story was written allowed for such empathy while reading. Her story is traumatic and heartbreaking, and at points was difficult to read. If you like sad reads that could make you cry while reading this is a good option.

Soccer lover777

Raw. Vulnerable. Hilarious yet tragic. A must read

Susannegela

Wow such a good read. My heart goes out to Jeannette. She is so brave and beautiful for sharing her story In such a raw way

Kensey Z.

A series of articulated, sad truths that leaves you ultimately inspired. Jenette’s collection of details on her life and living with an abuser was not only heart-rending, but in the end, inspiring to women with mommy issues. Everybody talks up the consequences of having daddy issues, but never the long lasting reprieve of deep maternal issues. It was relatable in every chapter, from how it steals your childhood to how it overtakes your relationships. The open ended finish feels like a breath of fresh air, as the reality of what it truly means to live with these issues- in that it never entirely goes away, but it does get better.

THE TITLE IS FIRE. A mother should never Be the cause of her daughter's Anorexia, i just can't understand how you Do that to a child. My mother was similar and She body shamed me into Anorexic Habits and Self Hatred. Mothers, Please Encourage your daughters and Children and Boost their self confidence instead of destroying it forever. And remember please that The words you Say to them, become their inner voice that can taunt them at the dinner table, afraid of a plate of food. Love your children, and Teach them to love themselves I don't care who did what to you, you don't have to Make someone else suffer for your insecurities.

MichiV95

Amazing!!!. This book was definitely a “hit you right in the heart”. I love how she is so truthful about everything that happened in her life and with her mom. It really is an eye opener. Beautiful book.

Dannyjfkwjfskkfkskdk

glad her mom died, too. this book was crazy. it was so hard to grasp onto the fact that this has been going on since 6 years old. i loved the shows she acted in on nickelodeon. i loved the way she portrayed sam puckett in sam & cat (i didn’t rlly watch icarly or victorious. i was more into the opposites attract). i’ve heard rumors about her eating disorder and how “The Creator” would force her character to eat more than she was comfortable with because “it was part of her character.” yet, i didn’t know half the things she was going through at home. i kind of wish she spoke more about what she went through during icarly and sam & cat. like the abuse that the creator put her through. maybe in the future, she would talk about what happened during the nickelodeon times. but this book is about the crap that her mother put her through. what she went through is important and REAL! im really proud of her recovery. so incredibly proud. her mental health throughout the book (and years) has been such a roller coaster and what she has done to improve herself is amazing. she’s truly an amazing human being and im so happy that she’s able to do what she loves. the fact that she’s loved writing from the very start. her own screenplay and directing and now this book; this incredible book. this experience was truly heartbreaking to read. it took me a few days, weeks?, to process. i love that she’s able to talk and find positivity in her trauma. she is truly special.

ChiTownBeat

Great Story. This book flew by for me. Jeanette’s words hooked me in and kept me coming back for more. The short chapters made it easily digestible and quick. I’m very glad I gave this book a shot and recommended it to everyone!

Rheeter92

Quite the pageturner. Heartbreaking and honest.

Humongous muffin

Astonishing and Impactful. This book is one of the most amazing books I have ever read—it shines light on the life of a troubled child star that appeared happy to the world, but was secretly living a lie. My childhood was spent watching Sam and Cat and iCarly, but now I know the backstory to the beloved Jeannette McCurdy. I feel for her. This book has so much meaning, so much depth to her life and I appreciate so much of it. 10/10 recommend! 💗

Ariana Stan❤️

Uhhhm. The title tho…..

AdellaRuthie

Biography. This book was great 10/10

Tonyisafag

Awestruck.. Jennette is inspiring as she tells of her journey post relationship with a narcissistic mother and trying to find her own identity. She speaks on life during and after eating disorders. She speaks on how those with control impact us long after they’re gone. Finally, she delves in on how difficult, lengthy, and rewarding recovery is. Jennette is REAL, ambitious, and altogether brilliant. I would recommend this book to every single person I know. Definitely worth the read. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

MonieLRich

She gave her all in this book. The mother daughter relationship can be so complicated. Yet she was able to display the thoughts and feelings I this book so well. I really enjoyed it. Bravo 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Dave (lowercase for effect)

Pace. The book is a bit slow for the first quarter or third of it, but then it picks up a lot. The content is great tho; maybe I’m just an impatient reader.

Jschott88

Excellent. Excellent read!

Boo covid

Good book. This portrays the struggle of a young actress just trying to please her ill mother. This book really touched my heart. It made me feel grateful I have such a great life and great relationships.

BreezeBrown

Wow. Great book! Easy read and wonderfully written.

Gladiator Lego Barbie

5 stars. Thankful to hear your voice- your true voice, Jennette.

Airportbingereader

I’m glad my mom died by Jennette McCurdy. I honestly really enjoyed reading this book. I’ve heard many great things and had to give it a try. Jennette gives insight to her whole life. Her life as a child actor and its hardships. As a daughter who never saw wrong in her mother’s doings. She gives insight to the journey and relationship with her is mentally, physically, and emotionally abusive mother. Definitely worth a read.

Lilnasx Vanhook

Amazing!. I have to be at my house 🏡 by five thirty 🕠 so I’ll just meet there if that’s easier for me I just have a couple things I want you to pick out for you if you’re going out with your friend to pick up your mom or if you’re not there yet I’ll just go ahead with my plans because I’m just getting off the exit right here in and I’ll be right there in the parking 🅿️ garage so I’ll be a little bit closer if I don’t see your face in a little while I’ll be right out there by you I love to hear 👂 what you want I to

JMD 3

A brave story to tell ….. It was interesting to walk through the struggle with her eating disorders. Very real, heartbreaking and brave to tell her truth and help us try to understand her struggle and the struggle of so many.

-.- sage -.-

Great work.. @Sammyyyyyyyyyyx, you didn’t even read the book did you? How can you say it’s the worst book ever when in reality, her mother deserved it. Janette is finally free and hopefully doing better than before.

Some random person🧐🧐🥰

Beautiful book. Amazing.

Perfect. Incredibly heartfelt and raw.

Iceman176899

Not the only one. I recommend this book to anyone. I can relate to the feelings of having a mother who was wishing her own life on her children. To only in the end have her children resent her. Thank you for putting your words and feelings out there. Because your not the only one

Danielle_194

Must Read. Phenomenal read

Yassmeen123

Best book I’ve read in a long time. I soaked this book in in 3 days, watching you shift into different phases and just how real you are with yourself resonated with me, I love that I can now say (I won’t bother writing your full name, I’ll butcher it) that you’re my favourite writer!!

Fochduvdic23627

5/5. Raw, insightful, and powerful. I could not stop listening to this gem. I throughly enjoyed and I am excited for more of Jennette’s writing.

Miri•~

Amazing memoir. Is really interesting how we can be so blinded about other people situation. I was really encouraged by this book to keep my mental health as priority and all I can say is what a role model Jennette has become! Mental health matter and no matter your relationship even when is family if it doesn’t add you then we need to learn to step aside of it for our own good.

Maddy❤chapman

Great fast read.. Finished the book in 2 days because I like to binge (no pun intended). Great book, not too explicit but keeps you engaged. Last 30 or so pages definitely blow you away

M@man39

Excellent. J’ai adoré ce livre, malgré la souffrance qui y est présentée. La relation toxique entre une mère et sa fille y est très bien décrite. Surtout la souffrance de la fille, qu’elle devra porter en elle toute sa vie. Merci Jennette d’avoir raconté ton histoire, et celles de bien d’autres filles, dont moi!

Hannahnnnnn

Great book. Really enjoyed this book. Would recommend it

Madmoofruit

Couldn’t put it down. I wasn’t sure what I was going to expect when I purchased this book, but I was enthralled by every page. Growing up watching iCarly, never would I have expected the life she had behind the scenes. I hope to see more written pieces from Jennette in the future.

Meg363574

Very good read. Well written, hooked from the get go

Littlepages

The first book I have finished in years!. Not even kidding! I used to be an avid reader but since having kids and social media distractions I have been unable to actually finish a book in about 9 years. The pages were turning themselves, I found this book so easy to read. Jennette’s humour, heart and soul poured into the book, and I just love her writing style. Thank you Jennette.

Jjjjjaaaaakkkkk

Couldn’t put it down. Read it in 8 hours. Such an incredible story of survival !

CaraPoo

Great read. Great read, binged it in a few days.

Katcrosh

A powerful story.. An interesting story and well put together. Simple language and easy to read. Well worth reading and reflecting upon the impact of celebrity on children - and parents who expect too much.

JJHummel

Honest, funny, heartbreaking, and authentic.. I can only imagine how hard it would have been for Jennette to revisit all these moments of her life. Anyone who has known someone who has suffered with an ED, or has family members that don’t healthily respect boundaries will be able to take something away from her journey.

Ruby536

A very insightful read!. I thoroughly enjoyed this book as I have very much admired Jennette McCurdy for a long time, and interested in human behaviour and thought, overall. I am so happy that Jennette has shared and dealt with all of these obstacles and I am grateful that she has and was willing to expose people and issues that need to be out in the open. It was great to get more insight into someone I particularly admire and especially from their perspective. I am glad that Jennette is mentally in a better place now and wish her the best in her future!

CynBlaz

Excellent. Excellent book and really highlights the pressures that young actors are under not just from Hollywood but also some parents. Well written and very inspiring. I hope that her future is amazing.

Notanothersmith

Page Turner. So interesting and engaging. Really well written and so happy she found her voice!

Aaaaaahsh

Authenticity and great writing. This book will make you laugh, cry and laugh again. Jennette does an excellent job of taking the reader with her though her life as she recalls. Jennette’s recount of events is honest and brutal, her writing is so immersive. A real page turner!

Rindicat

I’m glad my mom died. Is a great read!!! I usually don’t like books but I honestly couldn’t put this one down!!!

Annija_v

Amazing. Not sure there’s much else to say about this book, it is amazing, definitely worth the read.

692920101917

Amazing book. So well written. I didn’t know how hard Jannette’s life was. I loved watching iCarly and Sam and Cat when I was younger. It’s so sad to think about what she went through, but I’m glad she’s doing better now

Reader4365

Causes deep reflection. I couldn’t put this book down.. it makes you reflect so deeply. Incredible

Beginerreader1

Finally finished a book. I first book Ive read in years & actually finished

ZohaSajid

Best book ever. Its a good book. I have only read the sample but it's really good.

Poppym6661

Excellent. Totally utterly gripping, the best book I’ve read all year. We follow Jeanette’s journey from childhood tv star to her struggles with an ED, addiction and attachment.. She shares this in a factual, informative way that’s easy to read, opening the eyes readers to the dark and sinister underbelly of childhood fame. Read it all in two days and it was so worth it.

Snkejskskc

Fascinating story. Refreshing and yet saddens me to read the other side of parenting. Such a fascinating read. Well done to Jeanette for being brave enough to share

Tinainleeds

A good read.. I watched her interview with Drew Barrymore and instantly wanted to read this. It is very sad at points and there’s a lot about eating disorders. It makes me so sad for Jennette, but I think this book is great for others to know they’re not alone. There’s not many people who overcome all of that trauma and then would have the courage to tell the tale. I definitely recommend.

MrsCATR

Excellent book. This is a powerful tale of what it is like to be the child of a narcissistic mother and an emotionally unavailable father. It is extremely well written and I recognised myself in this book.

Minniedelilah

Laid bare and completely honest. Her mum was crazy!! I love the title of this book

Hegehrke

Insightful and genuine. Though I’ve not found fame as a child star (nor do I have a dead mother), I found this book strangely relatable in ways I didn’t think I would. It’s an interesting read, and I absolutely recommend it. Lots of personality in the writing, almost like it’s coming directly from a friend, and thoroughly enjoyable.

Ohhbs94

Absolutely amazing. Inspiring, eye opening and everything in between. Absolutely amazing

Insightful read. Jeanette’s life story is so interesting. Her resilience unparalleled. I’m so happy for the progress and growth she was brave enough to undergo. I wish her peace and good health.

Softm4n

Best Book From A Person’s POV. Definitely the best book to read and I loved how it gave me the image on what this former actress life was like.

MartiJ32

What a journey. Wasn’t sure what to expect from this read but I was not disappointed. Jenn’s journey is a turbulent one yet has such a relieving ending with her way to recovery… just felt a sense of proudness for her. You go girl! Thanks for sharing your story and struggles. You are a strong one.

#beastsauce

Nothing shocking. Kind of the same old Hollywood kid story

Brittany Deeds

Great read. I really found this book interesting, coming from someone who grew up watching her! Her view of everything is so unique and worth reading about!

Furfur90

Good read. I always liked her on icarly she was my favorite character on it. I find it sad that her life was not all smiles like on the show. I can relate to her troubles with an eating disorder I had problems with that when I was younger. I am glad things are going better for her now. And she is able to tell her story and be a writer something she had interest in being as she had said earlier in the book.

Talktay02

Great Book. Couldn’t put down !! Literally worth the read 💕

Zuyee

Great read. Well written with sparks of joy and comedy we can all relate to whether youve had trauma in the past or not. I’ve started to read after hating it and this is one of those books I couldn’t put down.

Melblevs

I would give this 6 million stars if I could.. First, lots of trigger warnings so research into it. Second, what an amazing book that makes you laugh, cry, yell, heal. As someone with an abusive parent this was such a good read. I’m so happy for her, and her healing.

FranchescaCoburn

Powerful. The level if vulnerability is very high yet she speaks of experiences that so many people have suffered with in the silence. I have many questions but I’ll leave them as I reflect more about this book.

Adele A. :)

Absolutely amazing.. Wow. I loved it. The bite-sized chapters made it really easy to read throughout the day when convenient and her story was written with so much thought and care. I can only imagine what this book represents in her personal growth and recovery. You should absolutely read this book. It’s a great read and, as someone who grew up with iCarly, reveals an entirely different side of what I initially believed about McCurdy. Amazing book. Gave me very new insight on things I didn’t know much about as well. Loved it ❤️👌

Peppy90

Layered Book. Great READ! Will take you on a journey.

AlienNinja24

Captivating. If you’ve ever experienced child abuse and emotional neglect. This book will grab your heart.

LeAnnJ99

Must read. I’ve always loved Janette but now knowing her story makes me love her even more. She is such a strong women and has over come so much. Such a good read

Jam with no toast

I adore it. A beautiful depiction of Jennette’s life from her struggles with an ed to a boyfriend who thought he was Jesus. A crazy, heartbreaking, and some how hilarious story that proves McCurdy’s dream of being an author are finally coming true

Tiannasreed

Truly Powerful Read. This was one of the best books I’ve read in the last decade. Although it was heartbreaking and emotional for me to read, I also found myself smiling and laughing at the humorous sarcasm at the end of each chapter. I highly recommend adding this to your collection!

BrittneyDenise

Witty funny way to explain trauma. She tells a real story of trauma and has a very relatable point of view I enjoyed this book.

Sleepyblackboy

Loved this. This read was awesome and I loved every minute of it.

Jaysanddd

So so great. The way she wrote this…I’m so impressed. It’s so witty yet serious. What she went through was so serious yet she tells it in such a light way. Many of the things she talks about so many people can empathize with. She’s brave for writing this. Just do yourself a favor and read this book. To good to pass up

B.F.2020

I’ll read this one again!. This girl can tell her harrowing life story in such a hilarious way! Raw, truthful, Exposing, insightful, sad, shocking... All this wrapped in humor and handed to you like a gift.

Pd421

First book in 7 years -. As the title suggests, this book was the first I have ready in its entirety in 7 years. I’ve lost my fair share of family, but somehow have kept the narcissist that inspires me to relate to this book so poignantly. Reading this was like looking in a mirror, and I felt pride for being able to identify with it. Thankful to Jennette for sharing her story! I was fully engrossed, and she has inspired me to get back into reading and writing.

Jademckeirnan

Good read. At first I didn’t understand why the book was name this but after I got to the last chapter it very much summed it up. I related a lot to how she felt and was kinda proud of her. It’s no secret that child stars are just that but she proved she’s more than that.

NuttyNatty721

A very good read!. I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Good underlining humor.

Porche_W

Great book. Touches on a lot of behind the scenes issues that happen to a lot of child stars and even young adults it was a great insight on the life of Jenette McCurdy

Geemila

LOVED IT!. So good, so touching, love her writing style. What an inspirational story. I truly wish the best for her.

Kiababy_

A great inspiring/heartbreaking book. This was such a heartbreaking but good book. I’m glad the ending ended well. You never really know what people are going through or what they’ve been through.

Mine 222

I love this book.. This is my favorite book

Char3518

The title was shocking at first.. This is a painfully honest and inspiring book. So glad I read it. It is NOT a “poor me” book. It took guts and honesty to reveal herself. At 80, I didn’t know who she was when I started the book. I do now and I love who she is and cry for what what she had to deal with.

Nachoamy

Couldn't stop reading.. I read the whole book in one day.

Gdranchak

Glad I picked up. My book club chose this book. I’ve seen it rising and staying on the top book charts, but I really was judging the book by its title. It irked me and made me sad. But finally reading it made sense. My heart broke for sweet little Jenny, and I’m so proud of how far she’s come. What an overcoming story. Brava.

Read alot Kelley

Challenges of Life. Autobiography of an interesting, unique, often successful and a mostly painfully dysfunctional life. It’s a testament to the biggest challenge facing America today - parents matter, and the portion of them that are absent - Jenette’s in home and biological fathers - or dysfunctional, narcissistic - Jenette’s Mom - is growing like cancer. Quality, succinct, writing helps the reader not have to linger in some truly painful events. You understand and admire Jenette’s loyalty to her mom throughout her mom’s life, yet root against it.

Karimarie014

Amazing!. This is probably the most amazing book I’ve ever read!

Pots246

One of the best memoirs I have ever read!. What a book! It touched my heart and made me sympathize with Jeanette so much. As a kid, I used to be a fan of the tv shows she acted. Learning about her life outside of acting has given me a lot of insight and respect for her as a person. I hope she puts out more books, she truly is talented in writing.

Despozuri

Absolutely incredible. I’m not a big reader normally, and this was the first book I couldn’t wait to get home and read after work, or right when I woke up. I couldn’t put this book down. It was so nice to read a book that felt like the author was being genuine and real. Loved it.

Fern_Fondler

Must-read for any human. Jennette is an amazing person and writer, and has done the world a huge favor by sharing her story.

Babyizzi

Awesome read. Really enjoyed the read. The dark humor in many parts of the book was one of my favorite parts. Anytime I wasn’t reading I would think to myself “I wonder what’s going on in Jeanette’s life today” and of course, start my read. Definitely plan on rereading!

Incredible. I wanted to fly through this book because it just got more and more interesting. But I literally tapered how much I read because I didn’t want the book to end. She’s so soulful and transparent which is really rare. It almost feels like you’re reading her diary, so much so that at times it feels invasive. It’s brave to be that honest.

Thanks for sharing. So glad ai read this book. Jennette is an insightful writer who’s style ai found riveting. The title captures my interest because it was so bold and shocking and then the content moved swiftly over her thought process as if she were bringing upi along for the ride. Documentary of a mental health journey. Cheers to the author for continued well being.

Great book. Couldn’t put it down.

Selfishly Toxic. An interesting read from the standpoint of Hollywood and the pressures of performance. However, was not a fan of the authors attitude, outlook, and approach on life. A very pity me and worship me kind of vibe with little terms of owning her own faults as she’s aged.

Thank you, Jennette.. I couldn't put this book down! Jennette tells her story in the most beautiful way. Her humbleness and honesty carries throughout the book in way that I can't describe. It truly is amazing. There are so many ways to relate to this book, and I just want to say thank you!
