I'm Glad My Mom Died, by Jennette McCurdy

challenging dark emotional hopeful reflective fast-paced

5.0

A very vulnerable book. Jennette McCurdy opens up about the realities of being pushed into acting, forgoing childhood, and the affects of an abusive (in retrospect) parent. Raw, vulnerable, and powerful.
