I'm Glad My Mom Died by Jennette McCurdy

4.0
I can't really say I enjoyed this given the subject matter, but I'm glad I read it, especially the second half. It's fast-paced and always moving, occasionally bizarrely funny, and has some great candid observations about people. It wasn't as funny as people said it would be, but that might be due to listening rather than reading? I wanted her to get better, and have so much respect for her focus on recovery.
This was my first audiobook, so wasn't sure what to expect. There were points during the graphic descriptions of bulimia and bingeing that were quite bad, but overall I surprisingly liked it as a format. I also felt it added something to hear the author read it. Her voice was pretty level throughout, but there was a moment where she choked up that made me nearly start crying.
