I'm Glad My Mom Died by Jennette McCurdy

challenging emotional informative reflective sad fast-paced

5.0

You will be glad her mom died too, she was a truly awful mother! And that sounds awful, but the number of people I have told that to is constantly climbing. Because IRL this book has been a go to recommendation I give since I read it last year. 

And you will be glad that Jennette wrote about her life, because she is a phenomenal writer. Because of the level of vulnerability, you feel like she is telling you her story personally rather than writing it for hoards of people. Plus because she is a talented actress as well, the audiobook in done in her trademark matter of fact tone that only adds to the experience of reading this one.

If you like memoir of any kind, I think you will appreciate reading this one.
