I'm Glad My Mom Died by Jennette McCurdy

emotional reflective sad medium-paced

5.0

Hearing Jeanette's story is so emotional and raw. It can definitely be triggering if mental illness and parental abuse is something you struggle reading about. Outside of that, I highly recommend this book. It is so open and nostalgic. Jeanette is a born writer. You can tell writing this book was very therapeutic for her and I hope it encourages her to potentially write more in the future.
