I'm Glad My Mom Died by Jennette McCurdy

dark emotional funny hopeful informative inspiring reflective sad fast-paced

I have no idea how to rate a memoir so I'm just not gonna. Jennette is obviously a very talented writer and I wish her all the best. 

I will definitely have to listen to the audiobook eventually.

The Silent Patient by Alex Michaelides
Did not finish book. Stopped at 2%.

I did not like the writing style at all. This book made me understand the phrase "show, don't tell" better than ever. There was a lot of telling. I gave up and read a summary online. 

I also found myself annoyed at the protagonist for very minor things. It's possible I may only be able to read books with likable characters.
