this book was definitely a fun read. tbh i went into it blindly, didn’t know what to expect. the characters are pretty cool and the plot is unpredictable. not necessarily my favorite, i probably wouldn’t reread, but it was cool.

I'm Glad My Mom Died by Jennette McCurdy

challenging dark emotional funny reflective sad tense fast-paced

5.0

this book is so beautifully written, with its complex characters and real storyline, every word on every page hits home. Jennette is an amazing writer and this book is gut-wrenchingly beautiful . reading about her past and how far she had come is so inspiring. so thankful for this book and the complex but beautiful plot.
