A review by jenniee_reads
I'm Glad My Mom Died by Jennette McCurdy

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

5.0

I have never really watched iCarly but I picked this up on a whim when I was at the bookstore and it is easily a 5 star read. Even though I bought the physical book, I’m so glad I decided to listen to this on audio because you can hear all of the emotion and vulnerability in Jennette’s voice. Although heartbreaking and hard to listen to at times, it is so well-written and I love how raw and open Jennette is in retelling every aspect of her life. Definitely a rollercoaster of emotions but I highly recommend it!
