annnakane 's review for:

I'm Glad My Mom Died by Jennette McCurdy

5.0

challenging dark emotional hopeful inspiring reflective sad fast-paced

---

Maybe reading about cancer patients dying isn’t the healthiest thing while I’m still in recovery. Still, I really enjoyed McCurdy’s spare, straightforward prose and the short vignettes of each chapter, which made the book very digestible while dealing with heavy content and still delivering on emotional oomph.
