Ariana: The Biography

Product Information

In Jennette's case, she had Ariana Grande as the co-star in one of the shows, and she developed a habit of comparing her life with Ariane's. This is a habit we should never develop, and the author tells us all the troubles she had to face due to this behavior. Building a good friendship takes a lot of time, effort, and sacrifice. We can see the author talking about friendships in this book. I remember reading about different types of friendship in a book. In the fashion realm, Grande’s iconic style has also made her one of the most recognizable celebrities in the industry, from her commanding ponytail to her brightly coloured baby doll dresses. These are darker topics, but what Jennette did so well in this memoir is to lay things bare and be vulnerable with her pain while balancing it with her wit and humor. She takes you through her emotional journey and leaves you with the sense that, after much reflection and therapy, she'll be OK and that those experiencing similar things in their lives can be too. I listened to the audiobook read by the author herself, and it felt like an intimate conversation between her and her audience. It's very well written, and I have every confidence it's only the beginning of the writing career SHE wanted!

Most streamed album by a female artist in one week (UK) – Thank U, Next by Ariana Grande attracted 59 million on-demand audio streams in the UK in the week following the album’s release on 8 February 2019, surpassing the 45 million album-equivalent units posted by her previous album, Sweetener, when it landed at No.1 on 30 August 2018. Suddenly, I feel just like that little eleven-year-old girl who was confused and scared and uncertain. That eleven-year-old girl who was doubtful that I knew the whole truth of my situation, who was unsure that my mother was the hero she pretended to be, but who shoved that doubt down." The actress said she became 'a bitter person' because she had had to turn down projects due to her commitment to iCarly while Grande appeared to get a free pass. 'So I have to turn down movies while Ariana’s off whistle-toning at the Billboard Music Awards,' she wrote. 'Ariana misses work in pursuit of her music career while I act with a box. I’m pissed about it. And I’m pissed at her. Jealous of her.' She added that she was envious of Ariana because 'she had a much easier upbringing than I did'. A truly incredible and hard-hitting memoir. Whether you watched Jennette’s shows growing up (like me) or you don’t know her at all, I think this book is a must read. I don’t want to go into too many details, so I’ll just share some of my thoughts:I think the only way to prevent child actors from being exploited by parents and crew members is by appointing an internal committee in every shooting set that even has access to mental health care professionals if needed. This committee should ensure that a certain percentage of children's earnings should be solely used for children's personal needs like education. This will prevent the children from being monetarily misused by their parents.

When I was in middle school, my mother told me that my glasses were ugly, that the children would call me Four-Eyes. Interesting Fact: No one has ever called me this but my mother. Though her career continues to grow, Grande regularly expresses gratitude for her accolades across her social media and through her efforts with organizations such as Opportunity Fund, Feeding America, and Give Directly.And the kids who are annoying, don't take direction, ask questions—those are the kids who won't get sent out on auditions. The kids who will get auditions are the ones who shut up and do as they're told." This is another big problem child actors face, the predators on the shooting sets. The author mentions a "creator" who behaved harshly toward her. This same creator also allegedly misbehaved with some other crew members in a sexually inappropriate way. The pop sensation now has many achievements under her belt including Billboard’s Women in Music Woman of the Year, and several awards from the VMAs, AMAs, GRAMMYs, and more. Jennette McCurdy is extremely talented in her writing and i hope she writes more in the future (whatever genre idc, i’ll read anything) because this book alone was a literary masterpiece. Viewers of the show were horrified to hear of the Jennette's treatment and went on to point out the sexualisation of co-star Ariana Grande's role of Cat Valentine. In a tweet that has since gone viral, an account named Veronasfilms shared a compilation of scenes of the pop star as Cat.
