I'm Glad My Mom Died by Jennette McCurdy

5.0

adventurous challenging dark emotional funny informative reflective sad tense medium-paced

Books of this nature are normally difficult to get through. Not this one. The pace of the book is perfect. There are no parts of Jennette’s story that drag. The story is very absorbable in a manner that you are never found wanting. There are parts here and there that are graphically sexual, but this doesn’t dilute from what is a very well written message of how Child acting ruined the childhood of a talented actress. Reader should check the content warnings before reading.
