I'm Glad My Mom Died by Jennette McCurdy

challenging dark emotional reflective sad medium-paced

5.0

man…. *deep breathe* this book is intense. definitely a lot of trigger warning is needed but she does a great job showing how exploitative the child actor scene is. her family is messed up & it’s really sad (but some of it relatable). I felt myself rooting for her & relating to her more & more. 

Spoiler

i’m glad things started to look up for her & I hope she’s doing well
