Harrowing, hilarious, and relatable. A deeply troubling and deeply healing familiar narrative for the children of impossible and abusive mothers.

This story is so sad and depressing. Jennette McCurdy was violated, abused and paced into a career in tv by her own mother. This is a story of eating disorders, alcoholism, narcissistic family members and the devastating life of a child in Hollywood.  Excellent written, though I had a hard time finding it funny.

McCurdy is EXTREMELY detailed in her descriptions of what I've listed in the "Graphic" section, so exercise caution where you see fit.

It's a really good book, makes you think about what child actors feel like when i watch a movie. Jennette McCurdy has a way of writing that I don't see often and I couldn't put the book down, though I did quite a few stares when I was reading it because of the title.

dark emotional funny inspiring reflective sad tense medium-paced

Jeanette McCurdy dives into her story about her relationship with her overbearing mother growing up as a child actress. This story opens a door to allow the reader to learn more about Jeanettes struggles and healing journey as she allows herself to be vulnerable to the world through her writing. I'm Glad My Mom Died holds a lot of dark humor that some may find relatable while also heartbreaking. It will send you on an emotional roller-coaster but I would 100% recommend this book as it is well worth the read. Especially for millennials who grew up in the early 2000s Nickelodeon era, there are some stories Jeannette tells in her book that will certainly have your jaws dropped.
