Overview

This book is all about Jennette McCurdy, a former Nickelodeon star, and her life story. It came out in 2022 and is her very first book. Inside, Jennette talks about lots of different things that were important to her when she was younger, like how she felt about her body, her family, and even religion. She also opens up about what it was like to be a kid actor on a famous TV channel.

Introduction

The story begins with a sad scene. Jennette and her brothers are gathered around their mom, who is very sick and can't wake up. The doctors say she only has two days left to live. Each of Jennette's brothers, Marcus, Dustin, and Scott, tries to tell their mom good news, hoping it will make her feel better. Maybe she'll get well if they share something exciting.

When her brothers leave, Jennette has her own news to share with her mom. She whispers something she thinks will surely wake her up: Jennette finally weighs exactly 89 pounds—the weight her mom always wanted her to be. But even with this news, Mom doesn't wake up.

As Jennette sits there, she starts to wonder who she really is now that she doesn't have to try so hard to please her mom anymore. This is a big question that Jennette will explore throughout the story.

Chapter 1

Six-year-old Jennette carefully tears the paper off her birthday present, trying her best not to rip it. Her mom loves saving wrapping paper. As Jennette opens her gift, she takes a moment to look around at her family. There are her three brothers: her grandma, who always seems to know everyone's business, and her grandpa, who can't resist a good bowl of ice cream. Her parents, though, are constantly bickering.

Looking closer, Jennette focuses on her mom. She feels a special connection with her, like they're always intertwined. Even though Jennette doesn't love her present, she pretends to be excited for her mom's sake.

Later that day, Jennette is at a birthday party with kids from her church. But even surrounded by friends, she keeps thinking about her mom. You see, her mom is a stage four cancer survivor. She talks about it all the time, worried that the cancer might come back. As Jennette blows out the candles on her cake, she makes a silent wish: that her mom will be healthy and stay with her for another year. 

Chapter 2

Jennette perched on the counter, trying to be extra good as her mom styled her hair. Suddenly, the phone rang, and her mom's face went red. It was her dad, and they started arguing about him being late again.

Furious, Jennette's mom started talking about how different her life could have been. She imagined marrying a rich man and becoming a famous actress, but her own parents never supported her dreams. Now, she looked at Jennette and said, I don't want you to end up like me. I want you to be a star!

Jennette knew exactly what her mom meant. There wasn't really a choice. It felt like there was only one answer her mom would accept. So, taking a deep breath, Jennette mumbled, Yes, I want to be an actress.

Chapter 3

Jennette takes a big step and auditions for a talent agency called Academy Kids. Despite being only six years old, she feels overwhelmed with nerves as she prepares to perform a monologue for a Jell-O commercial. The pressure from her mother's expectations adds to her anxiety.

During the audition, Jennette senses that the agent isn't enthusiastic about her performance. Disappointed, she's selected as a background actor instead of a principal actor with speaking roles. This leaves her feeling a mix of shame and jealousy.

As her mother fills out the contract with the agency, she reassures Jennette that she'll only take money for
