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.

A very digestible book broken down into moments rather than a long reflective narrative. Listening to McCurdy read this herself was heartbreaking at times, especially as you hear what is obvious as abuse to an adult but understandably, not an adoring child manipulated since birth. I truly hope that McCurdy found mostly healing and peace in sharing her story so intimately.

My first real attempt with an audio book, really enjoyed!

A gripping story behind a face always smiling for the camera. A very real depiction of what it can look like growing up as a child star, and growing up wirth a narcisistic parent.
I command her for being so honest about her journey and her feelings and even about the intimate things that happened to her.
