I'm Glad My Mom Died by Jennette McCurdy

First of all, I'm also glad her mom died...
Secondly, I just finished my very first memoir! 

As a child I grew up watching iCarly & loved both Miranda & Jeanette! Didn't get around to watching Sam & Cat, mostly because Cat's character drove me nuts. 

When this book first came out I didn't want to know anything about it because of the title. Now, I'm so glad I gave it a shot. Because, wow. 

I was so happy to see that the narrator was Jeanette herself, she nailed the audiobook! Jeanette hit the sweet spot, balancing humour compared with the serious stuff that I'm not at all ready to speak about... 

Jeanette, if you're reading this I hope that you'll make so much more money from this book than the hush money they tried to give you. I wish you nothing but success & all the happiness that you deserve! Silently also hoping to see more of your writing in the future! šŸ¤žšŸ» I'm rooting for you!

Difficult at times but necessarily so. Long, but because it is thorough. Jennette does a great job at narrating events from her life matter-of-factly, showing how normalised certain extreme behaviours were for her. She's been through a lot and her account of it all puts you right in her shoes, so it can feel gruelling at times, but that's the point. Her audiobook narration can be a little fast at times and mumbly but I think that's just the way she talks! You've got to keep up with her. I'm glad she wrote this and seems in a better place now.

I’m so glad this book exists. Children in the entertainment industry are not mentally equipped for it and we should stop glorifying them and scrutinizing them. THEY ARE 12!!!
