I'm too old to have any experience with iCarly or Sam and Cat, but the book cover grabbed me - especially with that title and her pained smile. While she does talk a little bit about her time on Nickelodeon, the bulk of the book is about her relationship with her mother, who she was very close with, but who was also mentally and sexually abusive. The way she presents it is darkly funny and heartbreaking at the same time.
It's a very candid view into Jennette's life and experiences as a child in Hollywood. She doesn't hold any punches. She was painfully micromanaged throughout her entire life by her toxic mother. And even as an adult, she didn't seem to have many non-toxic relationships in her life.
I'll note she goes into great detail about her eating disorder (given to her by her mother) - so I would proceed with caution there.
I hope the process of writing has helped with healing - and I'd be interested in seeing what she writes next if she chooses to continue writing.
