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

challenging emotional hopeful reflective sad fast-paced

4.0

A very digestible book broken down into moments rather than a long reflective narrative. Listening to McCurdy read this herself was heartbreaking at times, especially as you hear what is obvious as abuse to an adult but understandably, not an adoring child manipulated since birth. I truly hope that McCurdy found mostly healing and peace in sharing her story so intimately.

My first real attempt with an audio book, really enjoyed!
