I'm Glad My Mom Died
by Jennette McCurdy
dark
emotional
funny
hopeful
sad
medium-paced
this was truly a phenomenal memoir. the writing was so incredible. it feels as though the farther you get into the memoir and the more Jennette McCurdy ages, the “older” and more sophisticated the narration becomes, which really solidifies the storytelling and makes your heart hurt even more for her. while i knew Jennette McCurdy struggled throughout her life from various media posts/outlets, this was still a shock. it’s sad to see someone who made you laugh hurt so badly behind the scenes. this was truly an amazing but simultaneously heartbreaking read.
