I'm Glad My Mom Died by Jennette McCurdy
5.0

Wow, what a book. I don't think I've ever read anything so raw and honest. I really wish there were more that are, and maybe there are and I haven't found them, but this book was a special level of honest. It was so detailed as if you were living the life right beside Jennette. I wish she'd had more time for her writing career when she was wrong because she's an amazing author. She has a way with words that just resonates with you. I think I'll tuck this book in close to my heart. She went through so much and ended up on the other side in some semblance of a new life that she wanted. I hope so finds peace in happiness. I can't imagine so many things happening at a young age.
