"an important cultural document." - lena dunham
why would you think to put this on your book...

>> No.22364634

>>22364035
two coworkers were reading this book recently. as someone who loves his mother very much, i found the fact repugnant. this cannot possibly be good.

>> No.22364669

>>22364634
Well her mother was apparently actually abusive but she's also shitting on her for no reason. She keeps going "waah waah my mother made me become a child actor" but she literally would've been a nobody if it wasn't the case

Unironically better to be a nobody than be raped as a kid by (((producers)))
Look at where jennete is now. Is she in movies? On shows? No. She isn't because she doesn't want to be in hollywood

One thing that always struck about 2nd wave feminism is how childish it was. The replacement of the e in 'women' with y and such.

Then there's the juvenile edginess like in OP's pic.

Am I the only person who actually read this book? Sure it is not the most high brow book (that /lit/ usually likes) but it's really not bad or lazy either. At least try out the book before you make assumptions. The title is supposed to be shocking retards.
>>22364634
If you read it its pretty reasonable. Her mother is an evil and abusive women. She is definitely in hell right now.
>>22364669
She makes it pretty clear in the book she never wanted to be an actor and would've preferred to be a nobody.
>>22364873
Exactly, she ended up quitting acting and even denied going on the remake of iCarly despite being offered a large amount of money. She has always hated being an actor and has always been forced to be one.

# 1 NEW YORK TIMES BEST SELLER
and i'll compile them in a document
but
let me tell you something

any ragtag book publishers who happen to be browsing here
it doesn't really work
not for me
never has
never will

I don't see the tagline and say oh fuck
I gotta get it
I gotta get THAT FUCKING LITERATURE IN MY VEINS MOTHERFUCKER
no sir
not at al
I've glanced at it

I've eyed it
I've given it the side stare
but never
never
ever
have I made a purchasing decision based on your new york times ranking printed on the front cover

let me be the first to tell you that it does not ring as an endorsement of your product; hello this is the opiate of the masses pls buy me
fuck off

let me be the second to tell you that no, no thanks
I don't actually want a book with this inane garbage printed on the cover
and I don't care what your washed up eceleb thinks of the book either

get yourself a cover, select a typeface that represents your book and put it out there
that's it
it's that simple
none of the fuckery
none of the whoring
just put your book out there and let it stand on it's own merits

never
ever
have I
a sentient person asked myself what I should read next
and said to myself
why golly
I want a #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
why surely that's what I fucking need
surely

surely that's what's gonna get me going
never have I lusted after some shlock, some fake claim to fame
If I wanted to lust after icarly
I'd jerk it to icarly season 1 while listening to a closeted youtube paedophile tell me how much of a cultural revolution it was

but never
never have I been searching for a book to pass my time
to change my worldview

and said to myself
YES GIVE ME THAT FUCKING NUMBER ONE NEW YORK TIMES BEST SELLER

fuck off
you cocksucker
eat dick in hell you fucking faggot
may your flesh burn off your bones slowly
