nethflix 's review for:

I'm Glad My Mom Died by Jennette McCurdy
4.25
reflective medium-paced

This book was the FIRST EVER book I buddy-read with a friend. And it was a refreshing experience—being able to share your thoughts as you go by, an activity one usually encounters when watching a movie.

Going back to the actual review of the book itself, the agonist's mother was far from mine; while I was not shocked mothers like hers existed, I did not understand how cruel one can be to bestow such mental trauma to a child. I learned just how much a parent's influence shapes a person. That even into things as seemingly minute as eating was affected. I also learned that eating disorders were very similar to addiction. I liked the book because it ACTUALLY raises awareness on things not openly discussed nowadays.

As a whole, great read.
