lunaviolet 's review for:

I'm Glad My Mom Died by Jennette McCurdy

4.75

challenging emotional funny reflective

---

Really well written and hard to take in despite the tone being made lighter by the comedy sprinkled throughout mainly the first half of the book.

I think I’ll have that image of the first time she mad herself vomit bouncing around my brain for a while. That scene was too graphic for me, but I understand why she might have included it.
