I'm Glad My Mom Died by Jennette McCurdy

challenging emotional funny hopeful informative reflective sad medium-paced

5.0

This book was absolutely phenomenal. They way in which McCurdy was able to write about her past in such detail shows incredible personal strength. The childhood part of the book was especially gut wrenching as the way she narrated it almost seemed as though a little Jennette were explaining everything to you. It was such an eye opener on so many levels, the acting industry, fame, mormonism, eating disorders and recovering your mental health. When I reached the end I felt weirdly proud of her just to be able to survive. I laughed out loud on many occasions but a lot of this was bittersweet, if you didn’t laugh you’d cry. I would highly recommend this book to anyone able to withstand a meticulous look into suffering with anorexia, bulimia, OCD, child abuse and substance abuse.
