liaer 's review for:
I'm Glad My Mom Died
by Jennette McCurdy
challenging
dark
emotional
sad
fast-paced
This book was really difficult at times, but totally worth it. It really gives an inside look into McCurdy's life, but also hints to other problems in the entertainment industry. She does an excellent job writing from the perspective of a child while making it incredibly clear for the adult reader to understand the full situation. Definitely should check the trigger warnings because there are a lot. Not an easy book if you struggle with eating disorders and/or disordered eating. I would recommend to people just with the asterisks of being aware that there are very heavy topics written about in detail.
