So captivating and sad. The audio book was wonderful, I love the author's voice and how she told the story. The chapters were usually pretty short and ended in such poetic ways that really added to the writing.

This is an incredibly personal book about the author’s relationship with her mother, and how it affected her life, choices and mental health. As it is a memoir, I can hardly critique “the plot”. It was fascinating and horrific at the same time. The subject matter is heavy at times, and I would advise anyone who has a hard time reading about abuse, eating disorders and alcohol use to approach this book with caution. 

I appreciated the way the author described how her relationship with her mother developed and how she began to see her mother’s actions in a different light. Also I appreciated how this book ended on a positive note. Before reading this book I had no idea who Jennette McCurdy was, but the way this book told about her life “made me” care about her, and I wish her all the best.

I listened this book as an audiobook narrated by the author. At first I felt she talked a bit too fast, but then I got used to it and it didn’t bother me anymore. I personally didn’t like some small things how she chose to deliver some lines, but that’s a personal preference.

I’m Glad My Mom Died by Jennette McCurdy is a stunning celebrity memoir that really shows what she went through. I personally dislike celebrity memoirs most of the time, because they never really have anything to talk about, and when they do, they never really do it well (apart from a few exceptions). This is not the case with I'm Glad My Mom Died. This memoir is packed with so much information and it is an absolute page turner!

Absolutely incredible memoir but the emotional & sexual abuse and graphic account of disordered eating is extremely heavy, mind the content warnings!
