I'm Glad My Mom Died by Jennette McCurdy

3.5

challenging dark emotional reflective sad tense fast-paced

---

This story is so sad and depressing. Jennette McCurdy was violated, abused and paced into a career in tv by her own mother. This is a story of eating disorders, alcoholism, narcissistic family members and the devastating life of a child in Hollywood.  Excellent written, though I had a hard time finding it funny.
