jennette mccurdy talks about her struggles as a child actor and the emotional, physical, and mental abuse of her mother that led her to multiple eating disorders. this really was ‘heartbreaking and hilarious,' and i really loved the audiobook.
you hear and see countless stories of the horrific things child actors go through, but it truly is incredibly sad to hear what mccurdy went through. i do believe she inserts dark humor in the best possible way, which makes it feel like you're listening to a friend recount their story.
this felt so raw and powerful and i highly recommend this memoir.

this does heavily discuss eating disorders, body shaming, abuse, manipulation, grooming, death ( + ones i might have missed) so bear that in mind when picking this one up.
