I'm Glad My Mom Died
by Jennette McCurdy
reflective
tense
fast-paced
Okay so this was not I expected. I wanted to read this because I was told it was for people with “mommy issues,” but I don’t know… Mommy issues are touched on FOR SURE, but there’s A LOT more going on. She says a lot of poignant things about her relationship with her mother, but this was far less relatable than I thought it would be.
With that being said, my main thought after reading is that I am very thankful that we have come to a point in time where people like Jennette McCurdy and other child actors can speak up about their abuse and exploitation. It’s hard being an adult and grappling with the fact that your favorite tv shows as a child came from such traumatic environments but I want them to get better. They gave me my childhood and I wish I could give theirs back :/
