Jennette McCurdy

What happened with Steven? Why is Ari (boyfriend) not mentioned at all in the book except for in the acknowledgements?

It was well-written, and not at all as negative as the title implies, but I'm left with questions.

Fuuuck. I was not expecting that. I got this from the library because of the hype and I don't often do audiobooks because my brain doesn't seem to retain information delivered aurally but I'm glad I heard this in the author's voice. It's harrowing to hear what she went through; it's laid out in such a basic way, without caveats or excuses, that the trauma is obvious but never devolves into self-pity.

wow

frankly, i think the impact was lessened by how many chapters i've listened to on tiktok alongside subway surfers and soap cutting videos. lol

this audiobook was amazing. very candid, very strong writing, very eye opening, unfortunately relatable. some parts were hard to get through

I listened to the audio version. Hearing it in Jennette's voice made it much better than reading it with my eyes. I felt all the emotions. A couple of times I had to stop driving so that I could dry my eyes.
