I’m Glad My Mom Died is such a powerful read. I listened to the audiobook, which is narrated by her and she does a fantastic job of it. The writing style is simple but brilliant and really affective - the way her emotions are described, her thinking at the time, and her age reflects as we listen to her grow up. 

I didn’t know much about this going in so there are a lot of trigger warnings. They range from her mom showering her still at age 16 to encouraging anorexia in an 11 year old to calling her daughter a s1ut, disowning her and asking for money all in the same message.

I’m so happy she’s in a good place now 🥹

This was a difficult read but an incredible one. The topics are very heavy but the author's voice is so compelling that it helps you through. I don't typically like memoirs but I would recommend this to anyone capable of handling the sensitive topics
