I'm Glad My Mom Died by Jennette McCurdy

5.0

Jeanette McCurdy’s writing feels like the words of somebody who has found solace on a page. The talent in her storytelling is undeniable, and she shares the ins and outs of her sometimes hilarious, sometimes heartbreaking upbringing with a dry wit and jarring self-awareness that makes the book hard to put down. McCurdy walks you through her biggest trials and tribulations- her acting career, her battle with her own body, her relationship with her mother- as though it’s happening in real time, and the vulnerability, the honesty, the rawness of it all is as shocking as it is delightful! Check the book for trigger warnings- the topics dealt with are dark and McCurdy doesn’t mince her imagery- but if you’re in the right mindset for it, I thought this was an incredible debut from a woman that has so much more to say.
