This book appeared nearly everywhere on my social media in form of interview snippets of Jennette reading parts of the book. Those added to the provoking title and cover, and made it just the more interesting.
Jennette McCurdy, to me mostly known as Samantha „Sam“ Puckett from iCarly and Sam & Cat. Two shows from my child- and early teenagehood. To even think that this person on my screen struggled with all the things she‘s describing is „rose-coloured glasses“ breaking.
It was interesting to read Jennette’s point of view of her career in acting as well as her family situation. She managed to explain her emotions and her situations in an easy to understand way. They felt very real. Which added to the heaviness of some parts.
In the end I still had some questions. But the amount she decided to share with the public is already enough.
