I'm Glad My Mom Died by Jennette McCurdy

5.0

dark emotional funny hopeful inspiring reflective sad medium-paced

---

This book was so well written. Jennette's writing voice was very strong and I liked how she added humour and retrospective notes to each scene. Obviously it's a memoir but it felt so real and relatable (to an extent). She perfectly encapsulated the raw chaos of the uncomfortable feelings that you go through in life.
