I'm Glad My Mom Died by Jennette McCurdy
5.0
As a general principle, I try not to spend too much brainpower or energy thinking about the lives of celebrities I've never met. But I'm 100% serious when I say, all I want from 2023 is for Jennette McCurdy to find health and happiness. God knows she deserves it.
I'm Glad My Mom Died is a dichotomy of a memoir. It's heartbreaking, but McCurdy's dark sense of humor peaks through. It's face-paced, but still deep. It's a case study of the abuse of children actors in the public eye and why we shouldn't put actors on a pedestal, while profiting off the fact that we do. It's a five-star read, but I can't in good conscious put it on my "favorites" shelf.
