The author was a former actress and a "child star" in a well-known teenage TV series on Nickelodeon. This book is an autobiography, for those who have not met the character "Sam" from the teenage series and possibly reminds them of carefree years, it is quite a shocking read. It touches on sensitive topics of toxic relationships, eating disorders, and the not-so-glamorous life that child celebrities experience. It keeps the reader's interest with honesty and minimal effort of censorship or manipulation of situations. The title, definitely controversial, is justified, however, with the completion of the book.
