I'm Glad My Mom Died by Jennette McCurdy

challenging emotional reflective sad medium-paced

4.0

4/5 As someone who doesn’t typically read biographies, found it hard to rate someone’s life 4 stars. However, I really think this was a great first biography. Even though this book took me a long time to read, it was worth it. She writes very honestly and doesn’t really portray herself as the protagonist. I definitely recommend this book if you are looking to get into biographies. You might just want to make sure your heads in the right place before you do.
