I'm Glad My Mom Died by Jennette McCurdy
4.0
I don't usually do this but this book warrants trigger warnings:
Parental abuse, bulimia, purging, drug use, alcoholism, to name a few.
The title of this book is horrible, but that's exactly what drew me to the book. I wanted to know what had happened to Jennette McCurdy for her to feel this way. Jennette McCurdy was in a few very popular shows on Nickelodeon but until listening to this book I had never heard of her. Her mother was an over-the-top child actor Mom who even bathed Jennette until she was 16! That's just one of the more abhorrent things she did and it's best to leave the story telling to Jennette herself which she did in the audio. It's sad and tragic, yet it has some humourous parts. The last chapter is perfect and I hope writing this book was cathartic for Ms. McCurdy.
