I'm Glad My Mom Died, by Jennette McCurdy

challenging dark emotional reflective sad tense medium-paced

5.0

This book lives to its hype! I listened to the audiobook, which was read by Jennette McCurdy herself, and it's a game changer!!! You can feel her emotions (or emotionless regard) towards each topic she discusses. It feels like a friend who is telling you about their life story and traumas. Most definitely recommend the audiobook! TW: eating disorders,  childhood trauma, abuse and more. Read/Listen with care.
