I'm Glad My Mom Died by Jennette McCurdy

challenging emotional reflective tense medium-paced

5.0

I loved the discussion of the nuance of the relationship between mothers and daughters close to the end of the book.

We place them on pedestals and no one can possibly know how hard it is to be a mom and mothers can do no wrong. But mothers do irreparable damage to their daughters that they then carry on to their daughters and their daughters and their daughters until someone finally breaks the cycle. Good for her.
