Most hyped books end up letting me down by ‘I’m Glad My Mom Died’ by Jenette McCurdy is not among those letdowns! The audiobook is well worth it because it adds an entirely new layer to hear the emotion in Jenette’s voice as she recounts her childhood. 5/5⭐️ overall for this read!

While I may not have lived through her same traumatic experiences, as someone who lost their parent at a young age, I had to come to grips with missing that parent while grappling with the emotional turmoil of accepting what that parent did or didn’t do.
She is incredibly brave for telling her story while being so truly vulnerable & open. She covers everything from not knowing how the next bill would be paid to it all falling on her shoulders to her mother judging the roles she was forced to take to her relationships with costars and the effect it had on herself.
Every emotion is pulled out of you by the time it’s all said & done.
