I'm Glad My Mom Died by Jennette McCurdy
4.5
challenging dark emotional funny hopeful reflective fast-paced

I think this is an important book that will change how we see child stars. Really shocking stuff esp. about Dan Schneider (who was only referred to as "The Creator".)
Super fast paced and compelling. 
I thought the writing was a little too basic at times. Maybe this is unfair because it's not like the author is an experienced writer. I wish she had given more updates about what time things were happening/how old she was. I also wish there was more information about what other family members thought of the mother before and after her death. Maybe there will be another memoir in the future.
