I'm Glad My Mom Died by Jennette McCurdy
5.0

Wow. Her mom was such an over the top narcissist. It's a great example of how whatever you grow up with seems normal and it's hard to see what's wrong with your own situation since you're so close to it. She includes so many of the messed up thoughts she had as just these blunt statements, and it's really striking. She also shows the messy path working her way through such a distorted childhood, and how she's still in recovery. Gripping, can't-look-away story.
