Fantastic. It's such a good read. Would recommend this to everyone. It's heavy content but McCurdy's writing is so incredible and witty that it is a very smooth read. This is one of my favourite books, I would rate it higher if I could.

This book is heavy and largely about parental abuse, specifically maternal abuse, and it's ongoing effects.

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.
