I'm Glad My Mom Died
by Jennette McCurdy
This memoir was incredible and was so hard to put down!
The chapters are short and though a lot of the topics in this book were super heavy, Jennette has a way of sharing her life story in such a raw and humorous way that just makes you want to keep reading.
It reads like a friend was summarizing her whole life story just for me.
I also found myself reacting out loud to many parts of this book: laughing, gasping, sighing. For me, that’s a sign that a book is damn good.
I am in awe of Jennette for being able to share her story and coming to terms with the years of abuse she endured and her eating disorder. It was beautiful to see her recovery process and watch her stand up for her own mental health.
Now I find myself invested in learning more about her life now and her career. I hope she’s living a peaceful life.
I highly, highly recommend this book to anyone! You definitely don’t need to be an iCarly fan to enjoy this.
