Recensioni
This is an amazing read and Jeanette is an amazing writer
I loved this book. I couldn’t put it down... the short, punchy chapters made it so easy to fall into that “just one more” trap. It was such an emotional read. Honest, sharp, and really engaging from start to finish.
This book was a lot. In a good way. Between getting raped, mentally, physically, and emotionally abused from her own mother is a lot. I would never imagine the s*** she had to go through. While reading this book I had to go back and rewatch everything she was in. There were so many points when she talked about hate and fear of her own body and her surroundings that brought so many of my own personal hardships back up. I will say this book is not for the light hearted. It is definitely an emotional rollercoaster. But I will say it was a light read and I was able to finish it pretty quickly. Also the fact that (everyone says this) she had trust with food issues and her character on iCarly was a food maniac must have been hard.
I didn't enjoy this book. I read it as it was popular and I was intrigued however Jennette's narration of the story was very rushed, and her tone felt like someone was forcing her to do something she didn't want to do. She got emotional once and it was at a strange time. Definitely not one I would listen to again
This book was a genuinely interesting and enjoyable read. I was intrigued by the title as I assumed it would be merely a story of how much McCurdy hated her mother (who was by all accounts a extremely narcissistic, exploitative, and abusive parent in mental, emotional, physical, and sexual ways) but I was curious about how and why the author landed on such a socially unacceptable title for her book. However this is a far more nuanced story. McCurdy didn't (and doesn't seem to now) hate her mother. Not by a long stretch. This book was actually a good look at what it means to love someone and particularly to depend on someone from a young age who is abusive and not necessarily be able to even understand or articulate that is what is happening (despite how obvious it may seem to the casual observer). It's a look at extreme codependency and at the levels a child will go to avoid the reality of the damage their parent has done to them... as if their very survival and identity depends on not facing the reality of who that parent really is... because it feels like it does. And ultimately its a story about the struggle to find an identity outside of that abusive parent's enmeshment and finding a way to survive and thrive without them.
