I'm Glad My Mom Died by Jennette McCurdy

dark emotional funny reflective sad medium-paced

5.0

Jennette McCurdy was my childhood and yours-- and with I'm Glad My Mom Died, we see hers. The child actress had much going on behind the scenes, and does not hold back from tackling the concerning reality of Hollywood and childhood stardom. McCurdy does an excellent job of highlighting the nonlinear nature of recovery and acceptance in the face of constant struggle-- with a touch of comedy. Excellent read.
