I wasn't really planning on reading this book, and then I read the prologue randomly and decided I couldn't stop there. And now I've read the whole book in 2 days. This book was so honest, smart, and compelling. I really loved the way Jennette told her story, the way you could see her critical reflections on the past as she was describing the 'present' as the reader was experiencing it. As someone who grew up on Nickelodeon shows, I think Jennette's story is one that not only needs to be told, but it felt like a way of reckoning with my own childhood as a growing adult. Being not-a-kid and having to reevaluate so much of what you know and the life you've led is a crucial part of growing up, and it felt like I was doing that with my own childhood (albeit through the specific lens of iCarly and Nickelodeon) as Jennette was with her own. And although my life has been drastically different than hers, it still felt relatable in a certain sense. Maybe even comforting in some weird way. I read another review that said it wished there had been more reflection on the ending about all that she'd been through, and while I did feel like the more recent years were kind of sped through in the book, it also felt authentic. Like this book was part of her recovery process--and that felt very obvious to me while reading it, so I wasn't too startled by the way the recent events of her life were a bit more rushed. I would've liked to know more, but it's also clear to me that she's still working on healing in various ways and, honestly, she's still young! She's got time to mull over it all and reflect a bit more as time goes on. Jennette also has a way of writing that's so engaging and also accessible; I was never stuck trying to figure anything out, and I rarely find myself devouring a memoir, but I felt like I had no choice with this book. She's a fantastic storyteller, and I can't wait to see what she does next.
