WOW. i'm actually speechless, jaw is on the floor, this book is AMAZING. i'm so glad i finally, finally read it, i've been meaning to ever since it came out because of it's raving reviews and let me say i definitely understand the hype.
i listened to the audiobook, which jennette mccurdy narrates herself, and i love the way she talks. she's a fantastic narrator so i would definitely recommend listening to this on audible if you're going to read it. her writing style is very concrete and clever, and i like how even though her story is quite heartbreaking, she still adds in sardonic humour and sarcasm that shows her personality and allows the reader to digest what she's talking about.
i also love how clearly she speaks about her emotions and really allows you to get into her head during every moment she describes. from everything about her substance abuse, bulimia, anorexia, experience with icarly and the entertainment industry in general, her relationship with her mother and the physical and emotional abuse she faced and how it impacted her life and future relationships, this is a deeply personal and well articulated story of mccurdy's life and journey of recovery. overall, 'i'm glad my mom died' is truly a remarkable book, i thoroughly enjoyed it.
