I'm Glad My Mom Died by Jennette McCurdy

dark emotional funny hopeful sad tense medium-paced

5.0

Just incredible to be able to see

everything her family, mostly her mom, put her through in her younger years

and the rationalisation Jennette used throughout the years to accommodate. Her author Voice is just so authentic and at each stage it felt like reading the thoughts of her at that age as she would be thinking them. Unfiltered and definitely definitely eye opening.
