A review by lovelybookshelf
I'm Glad My Mom Died by Jennette McCurdy

emotional funny hopeful sad tense fast-paced

4.5

An incredibly gracious and honest memoir that focuses on an enmeshed, dysfunctional family system, child abuse, OCD and eating disorders, exploitation of child actors, and grief...but also perseverance, friendship, and healing. McCurdy narrates the audiobook, and I listened to it straight through. Her delivery is compelling and, at times, darkly humorous.
