I'm Glad My Mom Died
by Jennette McCurdy
emotional
funny
sad
fast-paced
This is one of the most honest, funny, and downright heartbreaking memoirs I’ve ever read. I couldn’t stop reading it once I started. I think it’s the way McCurdy writes her experiences as moments of present tense rather than reflections that made this even more distressing to read. I recommend reading this with caution as it is an important but difficult book to read. I do still, though, recommend it. Support an individual who is finally able to be themselves apart from their fame. Support a young woman who deserves all the happiness that she was not afforded in her childhood. Lastly, support a writer who I hope writes more and more because she is incredibly talented.
