I'm Glad My Mom Died

sad
fast-paced
If possible, I highly highly recommend listening to the audio book version. Jennette's narration adds further emotional impact to her story.
Early on in the book, Jennette mentions that as a child she loved writing and preferred it to acting. Her mother dismisses the hobby to further encourage Jennette's acting career. I'm glad I was able to see the product of her writing now--a transparent, honest, but funny narrative of her childhood traumas and how she was able to recover and reclaim herself.
Jennette deserves all the peace and happiness for the rest of her life.
