I'm Glad My Mom Died by Jennette McCurdy

challenging dark emotional funny inspiring sad tense medium-paced

4.0

The vulnerability in this memoir is insane. I loved that Jannette told her story from beginning to now which made her story more impactful. The switch in writing styles from child to adult I thought bettered the story; it portrayed both her innocence as a child and her witty humour as an adult. Her descriptions of her mother were also interesting as she really delved into the psychology behind emotional manipulation, simultaneously loving and hating someone. Overall a great book yet could be triggering for some considering the subject matter.
