IM GLAD MY MOM DIED EXPORT (LO

Was Jennette McCurdy erlebt hat war einfach schrecklich. Aber wie sie ihre Geschichte erzählt hat hat mich so sehr fasziniert , da muss man sehr viel Mut dazu haben sowas mit der Öffentlichkeit zu teilen.. Gerade wo man denkt, okay es kann nicht schlimmer werden, passiert ihr noch etwas schlimmeres..Aber ich finde das Buch absolut Empfehlenswert, vor allem wenn man sie von damals aus ICarly kennt… Man merkt wie Verstörend viele Sachen sein können ohne dass die Zuschauer es merken.

Open, honest and heartbreaking. Jennete tells us about the traumatic events of her career and her difficult family relations. The story itself is really heartbreaking yet told really light and with some comedic relief every now and then. It’s so interesting what she has to tell about her former network, her co-stars and the industry overall Great book by one of the most iconic Nickelodeon actresses. I also recommend the audio book - read by the author herself - which is even more emotional.

This memoir is an incredibly moving and eye-opening story that completely shattered any preconceived notions I had about the author, Jennette McCurdy. As a fan of her previous work on Nickelodeon and Netflix, I was shocked to learn that acting was not her passion and that she endured so much trauma and abuse growing up. From the very beginning, McCurdy takes readers on a heartbreaking journey through her tumultuous childhood, where she was forced to follow in her mother's failed footsteps as an actress. The constant emotional and physical abuse she endured at the hands of her mother, Debra, is truly appalling, yet McCurdy recounts her story with such honesty and bravery that it's impossible not to feel for her. The book is a gripping and emotional rollercoaster that I couldn't put down.

I grew up watching iCarly and absolutely loved it, but I had no idea what was happening behind the scenes. Reading this, I was shocked to learn about the environment under Dan Schneider and Jennette’s complicated feelings toward Ariana Grande during Sam & Cat. Most importantly, I was heartbroken to learn about Jennette’s home life and the abuse she suffered from her mother. It feels almost surreal to imagine. Her eating disorder was such a massive part of her life, and for so long, she didn’t realize her mother was responsible for it. I’m truly glad she eventually found her way to healing and started taking care of herself. This book is a heavy read, but seeing Jennette take control of her life and prioritize her own well-being in the end is so empowering. Highly recommend, but definitely check the trigger warnings first. ✨

Das gesamte Buch über saß ich wie gefesselt da. Ihr Schreibstil ist wie kein anderer und ihre Erzählungen traurig wie erschreckend. Besonders gegen Ende hin merkt man wie sehr sie darunter gelitten hat. Wenn man ähnliches erlebt hat kommen einem schneller die Tränen als einem lieb ist. Danach sieht man die bekannten Serien mit Kinderdarstellern in einem anderen Licht. Definitiv ein must-read!
