"Why do we romanticize the dead? Why can't we be honest about them? Especially moms."
Jennette McCurdy's I'm Glad My Mom Died is brutal, yet radiant. Resolute in her truth-telling, Jennette invites readers to bear witness to her pain, calling us in to partake in her healing. It is so terribly tragic/touching to be privy to — no, welcomed to — view someone who has been "seen" their entire life. It is a becoming, a beginning, as much as it is an end.
