Jennette McCurdy Instagram – “I do feel like when a young woman is the protagonist there’s this instinct to make them “quirky” or to make them spunky. To make them a certain amount of likable, to make them more palatable to a viewer, a reader. And I am sick of it. That’s not the young woman that I was, or any of my friends, or anybody I have ever met. I think young women are complicated people.”
For our February cover, we spoke with @jennettemccurdy about female rage, adolescence, and her future in directing, upon the release of her debut novel Half His Age. Swipe to see the editorial and visit the 🔗 for the full interview <3
