I'm Glad My Mom Died by Jennette McCurdy

3.0

challenging emotional sad medium-paced

---

This is an important book for any adult interested in helping a child entering the entertainment industry.
McCurdy writes a raw memoir detailing her experience surviving what for her was an emotionally, sexually, and physically abusive industry.
Adults around Ms. McCurdy failed her over and over again; I hope she continues receiving trauma therapy necessary for her recovery.
