A review by bkschwartz
I'm Glad My Mom Died by Jennette McCurdy

challenging dark emotional funny hopeful informative inspiring tense fast-paced

4.5

An incredibly well written memoir. McCurdy’s childhood experiences are heartbreaking, but she writes with such dry wit and humor that I never got lost in the trauma. Her openness around her eating disorders is staggeringly vulnerable; I am in absolute awe of her strength.
