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

dark emotional funny hopeful inspiring reflective sad fast-paced

5.0

McCurdy's story is honest, gripping, and terribly sad, yet she tells it in a way that's compelling, interesting, and often funny. This book is full of vulnerability and does an excellent job of conveying the experience of abuse and psychological disorders. I wish I could read it for the first time again and again.
