I'm Glad My Mom Died, by Jennette McCurdy

challenging dark emotional reflective sad fast-paced

5.0

I listened to the audiobook, read by the author herself and boy do I recommend doing that! I believe it adds a massive extra layer to this already brilliant, heartbreaking biography. Do look up all trigger warnings before reading, because it gets very graphic and raw.
