* #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER * #1 INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER * MORE THAN 3 MILLION COPIES SOLD! A heartbreaking and hilarious memoir by iCarly and Sam & Cat star Jennette McCurdy about her struggles as a former child actor—including eating disorders, addiction, and a complicated relationship with her overbearing mother—and how she retook control of her life. Jennette McCurdy was six years old when she had her first acting audition. Her mother’s dream was for her only daughter to become a star, and Jennette would do anything to make her mother happy. So she went along with what Mom called “calorie restriction,” eating little and weighing herself five times a day. She endured extensive at-home makeovers while Mom chided, “Your eyelashes are invisible, okay? You think Dakota Fanning doesn’t tint hers?” She was even showered by Mom until age sixteen while sharing her diaries, email, and all her income. In I’m Glad My Mom Died, Jennette recounts all this in unflinching detail—just as she chronicles what happens when the dream finally comes true. Cast in a new Nickelodeon series called iCarly, she is thrust into fame. Though Mom is ecstatic, emailing fan club...

McCurdy acknowledges that once her mother passed away, she had complete "devastation with a little relief," followed by guilt for experiencing any comfort at all. But when she started to understand the actual nature of their connection, she says, "I'd feel devastated, and then I'd feel irritated that I felt devastated because I couldn't believe that this guy who had mistreated me still had such control over my emotions and such capacity to effect me." She started presenting the interview podcast Empty inside in 2020. She published a book in 2022 about her time as a child celebrity and her mother's abuse, who passed away in 2013. McCurdy, who co-starred with Miranda Cosgrove, Nathan Kress, and Jerry Trainor on the web series iCarly about a group of high school pals, was just 13 years old when she was cast in the lead role. McCurdy acknowledges that there was always a painful irony in the position, despite the fact that it gave her a level of notoriety and financial security that changed her life. While McCurdy battled with eating in her personal life, her character enjoyed turkey legs, fried chicken, and barbecue ribs often. As a result, when fans would question her about these...

This book is primarily for men, but in reality, it’s for everybody who not only experienced parental abuse, but also had terrifying near-death experiences in real life, who had premonitions about potential dangers, who thought they were going to die and had crazy nightmares about being in perilous situations/ near-deaths.

Half His Age

Autor: Jennette Mccurdy

Número de Páginas: 0

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of I’m Glad My Mom Died comes a sad, funny, thrilling novel about sex, consumerism, class, desire, loneliness, the internet, rage, intimacy, power, and the (oftentimes misguided) lengths we’ll go to in order to get what we want. Waldo is ravenous. Horny. Blunt. Naive. Wise. Impulsive. Lonely. Angry. Forceful. Hurting. Perceptive. Endlessly wanting. And the thing she wants most of all: Mr. Korgy, her creative writing teacher with the wife and the kid and the mortgage and the bills, with the dead dreams and the atrophied looks and the growing paunch. She doesn’t know why she wants him. Is it his passion? His life experience? The fact that he knows books and films and things that she doesn’t? Or is it purer than that, rooted in their unlikely connection, their kindred spirits, the similar filter with which they each take in the world around them? Or, perhaps, it’s just enough that he sees her when no one else does. Startlingly perceptive, mordantly funny, and keenly poignant, Half His Age is a rich character study of a yearning seventeen-year-old who disregards all obstacles—or attempts to overcome them—in her effort to be...
