I'm Glad My Mom Died by Jennette McCurdy

3.0

Whoever said this was: impressively funny???? Was tripping on the cleanest weed out there.

I think this is an important book. I love that she was brave enough to write about her life as a child actress, to write about her narcissistic and abusive mother. This auto biography is intense, well written and unbelievably raw.

But it still is a book about a girl who was sexually, physically and emotionally abused by her own mother. Please, keep that in mind before you pick this up.

The title might be silly, but there isn’t a single drop of humor here. This is the most depressing thing I’ve ever read.

Again, I am glad it exists. I am so proud of this girl for being brave enough to put all of this out in the world. I am sure this will help other people who have been through the same.

I just don’t think this was properly advertised. This is one of the most intense, gut wrenching and uncomfortable stories you’ll ever read. So make sure you’re ok mentally before you go through it.
