I’m Glad My Mom Died
by Jennette McCurdy
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Jennette McCurdy’s memoir is heartbreaking, funny, and brutally honest. She shares her story of growing up as a Nickelodeon child star, living under the control of her abusive mother, and battling eating disorders and anxiety.

Some stories demand to be heard in the author’s own voice—I’m Glad My Mom Died is one of them. Jennette’s narration is raw, vulnerable, and full of quiet strength. Hearing her voice—shaky at times, sharp and witty at others—adds a layer of intimacy that makes both the pain and the humor hit deeper. It’s not easy listening, but it’s necessary.

This is one of those memoirs that stays with you. It’s raw yet hopeful, and Jennette’s performance makes it unforgettable.

Engaging, (unfortunately) relatable, was a good palate cleanser after a spree of so-so books. Would recommend it to someone who wants a quick read.

And this isn’t a hot take but I think we can all agree Nickelodeon was lowkey incredibly evil and abusive for years on end. Needs to be some sort of survivor’s fund to help pay for the years of trauma therapy kid stars and former employees have needed after working there.

It was a quick light read, surprisingly. I think Jennette could have gone deeper about the abuse she experienced at the hands of her mother.

We needed more insight into the affair that produced three children. Where do they do that? Maybe she’ll come out with part two.
