I listened to this book on audio as narrated by the author and I am glad I did so since it was quite impactful to hear it in her own voice.

This memoir is so raw and real, describing McCurdy's life of childhood stardom, maternal abuse and disordered eating. She spares herself nothing - the humiliations, the pain of her mother's betrayals and manipulations, and the overwhelming anxiety of having to act against her will and be the family breadwinner as a young child. It is also uplifting to hear about her personal growth since she began dealing with her trauma and taking steps to turn her life around.

This is an inspirational, personal and deeply moving piece of writing. You find yourself fervently wishing that McCurdy finds personal fulfilment and satisfaction in her life now and on her own terms.
