Jennette McCurdy's "I'm Glad My Mom Died" is a gripping and darkly humorous memoir that pulls no punches. McCurdy's witty and wry voice keeps the pages turning as she recounts her tumultuous childhood and complex relationship with her mother. The book's fast pace effectively conveys the intensity of her experiences, particularly her struggles with eating disorders, which are explored with unflinching honesty. This is a powerful and disturbing story told with remarkable candor and courage.
