Jenette McCurdy

I relate to a lot of her story. I am a guy and feel like I can't say that I relate to her shit anywhere else. Because, everyone has the stereotype in their mind that boys are spoiled and only girls are treated like shit. Not true.

For anyone who doesn't know, Jenette wrote "I'm Glad My Mom Died" which tales a pretty honest story of what it's like to have to act as your parent's parent, and the hellish road of dealing with a lifetime of repressed damage in your late teens and early 20s, as all of your peers are out creating their own problems. I relate to that story and love it, and the book deserves every bit of success it gets. The ending of the book is spectacular.

I don't however, like all of the toxic bullshit Jenette seems to be a part of now. Doing shit on The Drew Berrymore Show and other podcasts where it's like she's talking with vapid women who have been through nothing, who love to spout mental health buzzwords constantly. The types who pretend to be understanding, yet are really closed off. Shit makes me feel like I don't belong becuase it's all a girl's club.

And her new book. My God, was I disappointed. Her new book was supposed to deal with fucked up relationships, and all of that. What it turned out to be, was just basically smut for the sake of it. Lots of edgelord shit, like the main character watching 9/11 and Kennedy footage. Just, fucking mindless, vapid trash. And sooooo many graphic and weird descriptions thrown in. I'm glad I'm not the only one who hated the story, reviews seem to be mixed.

I dunno. I guess, I relate to her for having a non-existent childhood and dealing with the damage. I don't really relate to the fake, vapid, celebrity culture shit she seems to be getting herself into now that she has found an identity beyond the one that her mother forced upon her.
