I'm Glad My Mom Died by Jennette McCurdy

challenging dark emotional funny reflective sad tense slow-paced

5.0

Good god. McCurdy’s writing is genius in this book, she tackles topics that many others would butcher but she lived them so she has no choice but to tell the truth; the whole brutal, gut twisting, illustrative truth. I’ve read this twice now and I’ll inevitably read it again. There’s no limit to what people will do for money, or to claw their way higher, and children’s lives, education, health and safety are no obstacles.
