I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this on audio, having Jennette narrate her life to me. Although it was extremely triggering as someone who has had an ED in the past, it was hopeful listening to her talk about her beginnings of recovery and how her life has changed since her mom died. I loved iCarly growing up, so this felt like an old friend telling me about her life over a cup of coffee. I enjoy Jennette's sense of humor and her sarcastic storytelling.

As much as I loved this, how it ended didn't fully sit right with me. I think for me it’s the fatphobia. I understand she was taught these things from her mother and her eating disorders are from her mom, but she never talks about or addresses her internalized fatphobia. As a fat person, I’m tired of people’s biggest fear being looking like me. It felt like it was written from a person who hasn’t fully fully healed from her trauma-- which is valid! But it felt like she wrote this still in the midst of her struggles, rather than being deep into recovery and using this book to "warn" others of toxic relationships and ED's.

Memoirs are to be written by anyone at any stage of their life-- I get that. But when the content can be potentially harmful/dangerous, especially to youth and teens, I think there needs to be more talk about the consequences of ED's and fatphobia. It shouldn't be ignored or dismissed, no matter the type of book.
