Story
Jennette McCurdy was six years old when she had her first acting audition. Her mother’s dream was for her only daughter to become a star, and Jennette would do anything to make her mother happy. So she went along with what Mom called “calorie restriction,” eating little and weighing herself five times a day. She endured extensive at-home makeovers while Mom chided, “Your eyelashes are invisible, okay? You think Dakota Fanning doesn’t tint hers?” She was even showered by Mom until age sixteen while sharing her diaries, email, and all her income.

Story
Tom Felton’s adolescence was anything but ordinary. His early rise to fame in beloved films like The Borrowers catapulted him into the limelight, but nothing could prepare him for what was to come after he landed the iconic role of the Draco Malfoy, the bleached blonde villain of the Harry Potter movies. For the next ten years, he was at the center of a huge pop culture phenomenon and yet, in between filming, he would go back to being a normal teenager trying to fit into a normal school. Speaking with great candor and his signature humor, Tom shares his experience.

Story
You Can’t Be Serious is a series of funny, consequential, awkward, and ridiculous stories from Kal Penn’s idiosyncratic life. It’s about being the grandson of Gandhian freedom fighters, and the son of immigrant parents: people who came to this country with very little and went very far—and whose vision of the American dream probably never included their son sliding off an oiled-up naked woman in the raunchy Ryan Reynolds movie Van Wilder…or getting a phone call from Air Force One as Kal flew with the country’s first Black president.

Publisher's Summary
Narrated by Josh Peck
A wonderfully candid memoir from one of the most recognizable faces of a generation, actor, writer, Youtuber, and television superstar, Josh Peck. In his warm and inspiring book, Josh reflects on the many stumbles and silver linings of his life and traces a zigzagging path to redemption. Written with such impressive detail and aching honesty, Happy People are Annoying is full of surprising life lessons for anyone seeking to accept their past and make peace with the complicated face in the mirror.
Josh Peck rose to near-instant fame when he starred for four seasons as the comedic center of Nickelodeon’s hit show Drake & Josh. However, while he tried to maintain his role as the funniest, happiest kid in every room, Josh struggled alone with the kind of rising anger and plummeting confidence that quietly took over his life.
For the first time, Josh reflects on his late teens and early twenties. Raised by a single mother, and coming of age under a spotlight that could be both invigorating and cruel, Josh filled the cratering hole in his self-worth with copious amounts of food, television, drugs, and all of the other trappings of young stardom. Until he realized the only person standing in his way...was himself. Today, with a string of lead roles on hit television shows and movies, and one of the most enviable and dedicated fanbases on the internet, Josh Peck is more than happy, he’s finally, enthusiastically content.
Happy People are Annoying is the culmination of years of learning, growing, and finding bright spots in the scary parts of life. Written with the kind of humor, strength of character, and unwavering self-awareness only someone who has mastered their ego can muster, this memoir reminds us of the life-changing freedom on the other side of acceptance.

Loved it! Funny, emotional, raw, and healing
It was healing to hear Josh’s story. It was a raw, honest, emotional story. Yet funny and witty - it had me laughing out loud at points. As a sober person with mental illnesses I thoroughly enjoyed Josh’s perspectives and relatable mindset. I learned a lot and healed through listening to his journey all while having a good time. I highly recommend the audio because it’s him telling the story and it just takes it to another level!

Great book!
Josh is very raw in this book and tells the story with a comedic lit that keeps it from feeling too dark even when he’s discussing some grim subject matter

It wasn’t what I expected but it was insightful and enjoyable!
I didn’t know he had experienced addiction and recovered, so I didn’t think this would be a book (partly) about that. I loved hearing his journey in his voice!

An enjoyable listen
Josh has such an interesting story to tell and tells it with humor, self-awareness, and humility. He has a great voice too, so I was glad he narrated the audiobook himself.

s-PECK-tacular
I randomly stumbled upon this book. I don’t know what made me preorder it because I don’t know much about Josh, but I did and WOW! Captivating, shocking, heart-warming and relatable. It’s so incredibly well written that it’s hard to hit pause - even my partner got hooked on it during a road trip. You can’t help but love josh after listening to this, and it leaves you feeling hopeful and inspired to take on your own life. Well worth every penny - even for someone who knows very little about Josh.

I enjoyed every page!
I never watched Drake and Josh. I started following Josh in the Vlog Squad and love his podcast with Joe. This book was entertaining and makes me like Josh even more! Well done, Josh! I am rooting for ya! (P.S. I totally thought you would mention Joe! haha That's funny!)
