I'm Glad My Mom Died by Jennette McCurdy

emotional informative reflective sad medium-paced

5.0

One of the best memoirs/biographies ive read. Very reflective and not holding back but doesnt feel like its just saying things for shock value, feels like everything in there is there for a purpose- paints an impressively complex picture

‘She need us to be nothing without her.’

‘Child stardom is a trap, a dead end.’

‘Her happiness came at the cost of mine.’

‘Grief is a great scapegoat.’

‘The years youre supposed to spend building character, i spent building characters.’

‘Why do we romanticise the dead?’
