I'm Glad My Mom Died by Jennette McCurdy

challenging dark emotional funny hopeful reflective medium-paced

3.0

I didn't personally resonate with a lot in this book, even with having dealt with some similar stuff in my life. I'm not really familiar with the author except tangentially. It's a short book but you really do feel every minute. 

That being said, the final quarter felt like a very good pay off and it felt like the author started to come into her own both in the writing and narration. The way you feel every moment of the run time comes from the intensity of the subject matter and the knowledge that it's not going to get better-- and that's also part of what matters the final quarter so much "better". 

It's a decent book overall and I don't regret reading it.
