I'm Glad My Mom Died by Jennette McCurdy

4.75

challenging emotional funny hopeful informative inspiring reflective sad tense medium-paced

Aside from the several uses of ableist language, to me this book is perfect. I am so excited to see her write more. Her literary voice is engaging , relatable, pithy, and is able to balance poignant and hilarious within the same breath. This is so good and a must read.
