I'm Glad My Mom Died by Jennette McCurdy
3.0
#1 New York Times Bestseller. #1 International Bestseller. 2022 Goodreads Choice Winner.
I read this book because everyone has been reading this book- and loving it. A painfully honest and yet artfully humorous account of her life before, during and after stardom on the Nickelodeon show iCarly, Jenette McCurdy’s memoir- mainly featuring the relationship between her and her mother- is candidly crafted, yet also explicit. This is a difficult book to read and left me with the same feeling I felt after finishing Tara Westover’s memoir, “Educated“, a dull sense of sadness due to the fact that although the writer has “healed” from the abuse she suffered growing up, she has yet to experience the true healing and restoration that can only be found in Jesus.
