evreardon 's review for:
I'm Glad My Mom Died
by Jennette McCurdy
challenging
emotional
sad
medium-paced
I listened to the audiobook read by the author. She read most of it in a deadpan voice but then when she got to conversations, she acted them out using different voices and it was easy to see her acting background.
Her story was hard to hear. She suffered a lot of abuse and had a damaging self-image.
It goes to show how poorly we treat child actors and how it takes them a long time to seek the help they need. I hope she finds her passion and so far, I think she’s doing well at writing. She’s unflinching in her honest storytelling.
This book was rightly hyped as one of the better celebrity memoirs.
