jennette coming up with title while listening to taylor swift makes so much sense to me
omg i did not know that
wait really did jennette say that
@@skylarrosemann2658 lol yes, I was there! I think the event is on TH-cam under “Books are Magic”. She said she started strumming to “I Forgot That You Existed” and that’s where the feeling came from and she started singing “I’m glad my mom died” instead 🙃
I love both of them even more for this
Can double confirm it’s true, she talked about it when she came to my university!
Small correction: the book doesn’t say that “the Creator” was the one responsible for Sam & Cat ending; she credits the cancellation to an unnamed producer’s sexual harassment. (But “The Creator” still gets reprimanded by Nick for unprofessionalism-though Jennette doesn’t link it to sexual abuse.) So there were likely SEVERAL predators running around a KIDS TV SHOW set, not just Schneider
Yeah, there’s a Nickelodeon Iceberg video and there’s a cluster of people that worked at the Company who have went to jail/prison/been convicted sex offenders… animation studios included. So much that we don’t know.
and theres a guy who literally got arrested for it that dan has worked with. when he got out of prison he went back to working in kid’s entertainment
yep, and not just in the live action department either. the loud house, one of nick's most successful animated shows in recent years, was created by an offender. an offender was also hired to work on spongebob back in 2019 too. rugrats isn't safe either (look up the "incredible storyboard jam" which was created by MULTIPLE writers on the show)
@@foreverfuturebound yikes!
@@foreverfuturebound I just looked up the Rugrats one… Disgusting
got it on audible and jennette is such a nice narrator, totally recommend it
omg that would be amazing
Yes I finished it on audible yesterday but there’s parts where her voice breaks during emotional bits, it had me sobbing.
Literally took a break from listening to it to watch this video
Just used one of my credits to grab it. I don’t know why I didn’t think of it before. I was gonna grab it as an ebook but memoirs as audiobooks is so much better for me.
Yup, it's so brilliant to have it literally un her voice as well as figuratively
Also Jennette is so sweet I saw an interview clip where she was saying she was proud of herself for not taking the hush money the creator offered and it was so beautiful. I hope she gets some peace 🖤
She has every right to be proud. Her not taking money to hush makes her strong. It's sad some are so weak that any amount of money shuts them up
@@samg873 You are right!!! But at the same time, the creator and his team may be taking advantage of the actors who might be struggling/vulnerable, who really need that money. I think she was incredibly strong and brave to use her voice. It’s a shame others can’t find that strength. She said she was emotional after turning it down because she could’ve used it to put her nieces through college but knew what was right at the time.
@@giorgia.m yeah. It's not a bad thing to put herself first once in a while ( I'm assuming that's where her being emotional came from)
It was such a satisfying moment in the book.
@@samg873hmm idk maybe bc some live paycheck to paycheck & are being bribed bc of that in the first place…
If ifs for my family, id still take it AND tell tf
as a fellow chronically sad reader thank you for making content through the tough times u face ur videos are so refreshing to watch :)) carleynation rise
omg im so glad! take care of yourself
chronically sad readers unite !!
Thank you for calling out the messed-up journalism that is taking this book and making it "Jennette McCurdy hates Ariana" because it's been making me mad too.
This was definitely one of the most well-written memoirs that I've ever had the pleasure of reading. It made my heart hurt even more because I, unfortunately, relate to many of the things she went through as a child. People often paint their parents as idols or devils. She did a great job of showing the complex feelings and issues that come with being raised by an abusive narcissistic parent.
when she told the story about not taking the hush money from nickelodeon i cheered. this book was a rollercoaster, a very heavy one, but still great. Jennette’s incredibly talented and strong
It’s crazy how a producer will look at a child’s family situation and be like “you know, that’s it. That’s the character I want in my show”
Business be disgusting
no literally because WHY were they so similar
I read this book last week and I'm OBSESSED!! I literally laughed and cried at the same time. I'm just so happy for her
yes! so heartbreaking and funny
YES TO CRITICAL ABILITY TO READ
Also ... people on the articles are saying they hate how much Jennette complains ... umm she only wrote one book, it's the writers of these articles taking legit every sentence of the book and making it into an article.
After reading the book, so many of the articles were over-dramatised and did not properly capture any of the nuance of her book
Do they actually believe those things or are they using extreme hyperbole to create controversial, yet provocative headlines that encourage article engagement?
Furious that this book isn't out in the UK yet, but gyrating at the fact you already slayed all over it
omg youre in for a treat tho
omg if you are able to I would recommend the audiobook!! you hear Jennette's voice speaking it which is always nice with memoirs but even better if you grew up watching her on TV.
It is out in the UK. It might be sold out but it’s been released as far as I know. It’s active on my Amazon wishlist.
@@tweetypieplansandreads it's still only pre-order unfortunately, Amazon, book depository, and Blackwell's say it's released on September 15th 💔💔
the audiobook is FANTASTIC. it took me only a day to finish. is v clear she was once an actress because she puts a lot of emotion in every character is incredible.
I recently finished the audiobook and it was amazing! One of the aspects of the book that I found extremely troubling but also illuminating was the "cry on cue" discussion and how damaging that trait is for child actors. The well-respected director who requested that Jennette do a crying take one more time for his own personal entertainment showed how complicit the industry is in child abuse even when they aren't the direct perpetrators. The industry's flaws are systemic
I finished this book a couple days ago and I have never read a book that fast and it was just beautifully written. Her story is so heartbreaking but I am so happy she seems to be better and healing while also raising awareness for child actors and the ramifications of it.
Yes! I also like that she is raising awareness about child abuse in general 💙 it's so brave when any survivor speaks up, & I make a point to listen
You've definitely convinced me I should read it. It sounds like a super heavy but very interesting book, especially for the iCarly generation. Also the fact that her Miranda Cosgrove were/are good friends warms my heart.
I finished the book literally five minutes ago, only to come to youtube and see this pleasant surprise! Can’t wait to see what my favourite youtuber thinks about one of the greatest books I’ve ever read. :)
i agree!!! so good!
i just finished reading this book and i've never given something 5 stars so easily. jennette mccurdy just deserves everything good that's coming to her, such a genuine and cool human being.
Memoirs and auto-biogrophies have become one of my favourite genre of books, i just got this book for my kindle!
i love them tooo!
Loved the part with “2 gals reading”. Your cat is absolutely gorgeous 😻
Yeah Same, I actually informed my mom that I was gonna read the book and why I chose to read it in advance because I knew that she would see it on my Goodreads, so she wouldn‘t be confused and sad thinking it might have something to do with her 😅
i wanted to read this book, now i think it's a NEED
thank you for your service miss queen
DO IT
you have been absolutely killing it in these recent uploads, loving the frequency and edits!
ekkk thank you!
i loved listening to the audiobook! highly highly recommend. her writing is so good, her narration is so good, she is just incredible
i absolutely love the way you filmed and edited this video
omg thank you!
great review, i just read this too (also ebook because yes it was sold out everywhere for me too lol)
the part that stuck with me is when jennette recounted being in the back of over her mother's car as a kid (...in the car seat that she had way past the required age), and she mustered up the courage to tell her mom she didn't want to act & her mom started fake crying and pounding on the steering wheel until jennette said never mind like 😐WTF. and of course also when jennette's mom forced her into an ed, but when another woman brought up anorexia & jennette asked her mother what that meant and her mother was like "...NOTHING"
that part was WILD
after reading the book (i devoured it in a day when it was released on ebook), i randomly think about jennette still being in a booster seat at 14 pretty frequently now and my heart breaks a little every time, not sure why this seemingly minor detail has stuck with me so much
Whoa.
rlly like the vloggier stuff u make, thx for filming so much :D her story also is super interesting in a morbidly curious way
im glad!! thanks for watching
I cannot wait to read this book! All the copies my library has have been borrowed and there's a waiting list so it'll be another five weeks until it's my turn 😵 I just hope that the book is SO good that everyone who has it before me will finish reading it really quickly so I can have it sooner lol
sending you luck!
There is one spot that I noticed she used Dan’s name. I had to do a double take. It’s only once during the lunch Jennette has with him and her mother about her potential spin off. Chapter 33, page 117, “I even have the name picked out. Just Puckett. Isn’t that a fun name for your own show?” Dan asks with a smirk.
My version says The Creator! I have the kindle ebook
Just checked mine and it also says Dan !
@@em_057m8 Crazy! Mine is an eBook too. Strange.
@@monicssa Do you have the hard copy?
@@DexterDebauchery No, it's an ebook!
Currently reading this book right now. About 75% the way through. Girl is not having a good time. So glad to see your review of it. I don't even care if you ruin the ending. Im watching the vid in full lol
You make living in Canada look so fun! I wanna go there so badly because of your reading vlogs
omg you should! i love it here
Can I just say I always love your b roll music it feels like animal crossing.
I just finished this book on audio and absolutely loved it. You should also read Josh Peck’s memoir that came out this year, it’s similarly heartbreaking and troubling yet funny and very readable. (Jennette’s book is better but it’s still good.)
ill put it on my tbr!
I’m pretty sure all the b roll music is Louie Zong’s work! He’s a great musician (both instrumental and lyrical) but he also is a fantastic animator
I listened to the full audiobook in 1 day. Very engaging. Albeit the controversial title, she wrote about her mom pretty respectfully. It didn’t feel like she was talking shit about her at all. At the end of the day, she is allowed to share her experience in her own way. Anyway, I heard in a podcast that she is releasing a book of essays, so I’m looking forward to that too.
I finished this book today as well and really loved it! May favorite thing about it was that she changed her writing style as she aged - her mind!!
I’m halfway through this book but I couldn’t wait to watch this video. I have no self control when it comes to uncarley and this book. It’s so good in a sad kind of way. Best nonfiction of 2022.
carley i love this vlogging style so much it's giving studio ghibli
random but I'm obsessed with the music/sound effects you edited in! it really makes it super cozy :) I'm getting a copy soon and I'm looking forward to reading!
I felt the same
the format of this video was so sweet and the pace was calming i feel a little more at ease and healed
I LOVE those in between shots from your reading vlog, just normal videos but they look soooo asteathic!!
This book was so powerful, read it today in a few hours and learned so much. That is what I love more about books how they can teach you a lot, but mostly help you to empathize with other peoples experience.
Thank you Carley for another great video!
I absolutely love the way you talked about the coma part, it is the best part of the book, in my opinion. This video was so good.
omg may fav youtuber doing a video about my most anticipated read of the year!?? this is a miracle
i hate audiobooks but i will get this one because I need to hear my girlie narrate it like she deserves it
Just curious why do you hate audiobooks. No hate, genuinely curious.
@@taylor11111 well i don't hate them as a concept, that was a strong statement that was not warranted lmao, what I meant was I hate using them, just because it's not how my brain works. like I cannot consume a book by reading an audiobook, I need the written copy in front of me and I can read along, but I cant do just an audiobook, my mind will wander and lose the plot lmao. i will use them when I have to read quickly tho, put on 2 times speed and read along, I can absorb it quicker that way, but yeah I just meant I cant use them, rather than I hate them
the gen 4 pokemon game sound effects are making me cryyyyyyy thank you 😭about to dig into this vid tho
omg love that you caught that
i missed these kind of vlogs so muuuuch!!!! LOVE IT
omg thank you
This was a such a treat to wake up too, you’re killing it atm girlie :)
This series NEEDS to be a podcast, I would listen to this all the time
Your choice of editing is so soothing
Your poor mom sounded so confused in the text 😭
she was WORRIED
Looooved this opening! So creative and cute 😍
i've been dying to read this book for months but it's not out in the UK yet so i will live vicariously through you
I feel like it’s Christmas already with all of your new videos 🥰
thank you bestie!
How much power your intro picture holds is incredible.
pure chaos
This sounds amazing, I'm definitely buying it. And the editing in this, I mean
Thank you for correcting on the “real father” vs “biological father”
two icons in one video! also love the keith haring art!
thank you!!
My girl boss queen!! Thank you for keeping us fed with content! The girls and the gays live for it!
omg thats all i want
Thanks again! Loved the little music and video college between you reading and sharing!
the synchronicity that I just finished this masterpiece aaaaaa
ps: perfection really is a hair style hehe
Thankyou for doing this for us, queen 😘💗
always
i just found your channel via PLL and i'm SO excited to see you've talked about this!!!! i havent read a book or had the motivation to since literally highschool (i'm 25 now :^) ) and hearing about this one recently immediately made me want it. i love jennette and i'm so proud & happy for her and i'm watching this video now but i still plan on picking up a copy when i can
honestly have been wanting to give this one a read and this video popping up on the notifs really is the sign to do so !!!
what a 10/10 title and cover like come onnnn 🤩
i knowwww its so good
What an amazing breakdown of a book. I've got to be honest I have never watched someone do this but I am pleasantly surprised. I just watched the interview that Jeanette did about a week ago on writing this book and it touched my heart. I wanted to see if anyone on TH-cam had read it and you were one of the first videos that popped up. I love how articulate you are and also how well you put this video together I feel like you took me on a journey through your day and it was just a beautiful thing. You gave me a view of Canada that I've never seen before. And definitely a new subscriber. I don't read a whole lot I'm more of an audible kind of gal. So I definitely am going to buy this to listen to on one of my walks. Thank you for your breakdown of this incredible book. The title did shake me up a little bit because I've lost my mom and I could not imagine saying that but when I heard her explanation on why she chose that title it made more sense. Hope you have an amazing day and I look forward to more of your videos
love the louie zong ghost song in the background of the vlog
the best
your uploads always make my day!
Originally I wanted to read this book because I just liked the cover, all based on vibes. I'm glad you made this video because now I have a legitimate reason to read it🥳
I randomly ended up coming across your vids today and have been really enjoying them as a reader, writer, and editor myself! I coincidentally watched ones without vlog footage first and so when I got to this one and saw those first alley shots, I perked up like a dog because I ALSO live in Toronto. Which is very helpful, because if you couldn’t find this physical book then I certainly won’t be able to lol
Thanks for the good content and looking forward to browsing the rest of your vids 😊
I'm totally with you on the reading ability and comprehension part. I'd be pissed too if I had to act with a box while my costar got to do movies and go to award shows.
I listened to it on Spotify and I’m so glad I got to hear her narrate it in her voice. I couldn’t stop listening until it was over.
I love your style of editing!!
such a slay of a review - gave me just enough deets to make me buy the audiobook without giving away too much TYSM
I listened to the audio book and it was just as emotional , dare I say even more so HEARING jeanette speak and read her book.
Thank you for making these videos. They are really refreshing
I love how you summarize things! I need more content haha
my two favourite gals-
also carley when can we see some stand up footage 😭😭
maybe soooon
singing along to carley's iconic background music has become a ritual now
Loved the new intro!!
thank you!
i missed your reading vlogs!
I'm on the waitlist at the library for this book. I've heard so much positive stuff about the quality of her writing and I'm looking forward to reading it, but am definitely planning to be careful about my headspace before I do.
I'm 80% through the audiobook and although had to take a break I love hearing it in Jennette's voice. Some tough stuff to hear but both well written and narrated.
omg i was just looking at it a couple days ago and i really want to support her and read what she went through💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕
ANOTHER UPLOAD ? carley said the grind simply doesn’t stop
in my prolific era
This was the first video of yours I saw- now a big fan of your channel! I took your advice fro mthis video and listened to the audiobook- it was soooo good!
I love how I actually read this one and still watched the video simple bc I like hearing your takes on stuff 🤣
Love you Carl’-Carl’, stay amazing! Brilliant video, as always! ❤️
I love your editing
You are the only person who’s add reads I don’t skip
after the very first sentence, I already knew I immediately needed to like and follow. thank you :’)
as an avid fan of her old podcast, I knew I’d have to wait until the time was right for me to read Jennette’s book and I’m so glad I did yesterday was the first time in years that I finished a book in one day and when I finally finished I couldn’t stop crying
Carley, I just thought you should know that I just bought three books so I could read them with you in one of your celebrity book club vlogs. You are now fuelling my book addiction to an unhealthy amount so thank you girlboss
oh i've been waiting for this one
YESSSS GO OFF can’t wait to watch this one god bless jennette
truly god bless her
Finished this a few days ago and I’m excited to see what you have to say about it!
Watched the vid and I agree with you. This was such a well crafted memoir. You can tell she put a lot of effort into telling her story and putting purpose into it and I really appreciate that she didn’t do what a lot of other actors/TH-camrs do. She had something to say and she slayed it!
I noticed a couple errors on the summary you were telling at the end!
1) her moms’s “goal weight” for Jennette was 89 lbs. still horrible tho
2) her mom actually didn’t wake up from her coma bc Jennette told her she was at her goal weight. She mentions that in the prologue that this is when she realized how serious it was and that she was going to die and leave Jennette without a sense of purpose in her life since her ‘purpose’ for so long was making her mom happy:(
I loved this vid! Please do more like this! I loved the end where you broke things down and went deeper into your thoughts about it. ❤️
I also read the ebook. It was so good I need to hold this book physically.
Love your vids. I like how it is a combo of book review, vlog, and your experience throughout reading
perfect timing
I watched half of this video, got it on my kindle, and read most of it in one sitting. Thank you for this.
I'm in love with the intro
