I'm Glad My Mom Died by Jennette McCurdy

5.0

challenging dark emotional hopeful informative reflective sad medium-paced

---

This book was often uncomfortable and painful and sad to absorb, but I also have to credit McCurdy for being so unflinchingly honest and forthright. This is her life, and she painted a very clear picture. This is an important perspective on childhood stardom, absolutely. 
Also, great title.
