challenging dark emotional sad fast-paced

5.0

un libro maravilloso aunque a ratos difícil de continuar debido a los temas fuertes, tiene descripciones bien explicitas de situaciones traumáticas, pero si saben inglés recomendaría leerlo en su idioma original, ya que la traducción está hecha en españa y personalmente encontré que ciertas elecciones de traducción arruinaban el flujo de la historia, además de no acertar completamente en el tono.

amazing book. covers her entire life pretty much up until she starts writing the book. it was incredible. VERY easy read vocab- & language-wise, but very difficult read regarding content. HEED THE CONTENT WARNINGS. if any of the CWs trigger you, especially the ones listed “graphic,” DO NOT READ THIS BOOK. otherwise, it’s an incredible read. 

lots of humor in suffering w/ a hopeful ending theme of overcoming adversity. amazingly written. i was hooked from the first page. mccurdy is an amazingly talented creative nonfiction writer (& doesn’t hurt that she’s had a life so crazy it seems like it should be fiction).

5⭐️ but i reserve actual 5⭐️ ratings on storygraph for my favorite books of all time

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!
