I'm Glad My Mom Died by Jennette McCurdy

challenging dark emotional funny fast-paced

5.0

What a roller coaster. This book flew by and made me so emotional. As a teenage iCarly lover, this was an eye-opening read in terms of contextualizing Jennette's life and experiences. I was amazed by her resilience and vulnerability in sharing her story. I was also fascinated by the behind-the-scenes look at the set of a popular network TV show. I've never kept returning to an audiobook so often (and read one so quickly). Jennette's writing style is punchy, emotional, and just the right amount of descriptive. Her narration of the audiobook is deeply personal and moving.
