Such an enlightening book. McCurdy does an amazing job of evoking true and powerful emotions with her devastating story of adolescence and growth.

4.25/5 ⭐ 

This is a fantastic audiobook. I think the title scares some people away, but the book really isn't about Jeannette celebrating her mother's death. It's more about Jennette coming of age, healing herself from a lifetime of abuse (yes by her mother), and forging her own path away from familial pressures.

I held off on reading this memoir, despite numerous recommendations, as I was reluctant to read about some of the harder topics this book covers. The short chapters read like glimpses of memory and I found that structure allowed for a  
lighter covering of challenging issues without glossing over them.

I don’t think it’s the must-read some claim it to be, if you’re not able to handle the topics in this book, you’re not missing out if you don’t read it, but it is an interesting insight into a young life that is unique in some ways, but universal in others.
