A review by thaliareads
I'm Glad My Mom Died by Jennette McCurdy

challenging dark emotional hopeful inspiring reflective sad tense medium-paced

5.0

I don't read a lot of nonfiction, so this was a departure from the usual for me. I have to say that I was so glad I read it, and in particular that I listened to the audiobook. This wasn't a happy book, but it was incredibly interesting. I think it was worth the thought it provokes about how we view actors and the assumptions we may make about their lives.
