I'm Glad My Mom Died by Jennette McCurdy

5.0

challenging dark emotional informative inspiring reflective sad tense medium-paced

---

This book is amazing, it’s an honest and painful look into her life. It’s an actual reflection of long long it takes to unlearn all the harmful patterns we learned as kids, especially from parents who we often see as perfect when they are far from it. I think the way it was written was masterfully done. She wrote with a childlike naïveté when she wrote about her childhood, and the voice matured as she did, throughout her life and throughout the realisations she went through.
