A review by danielleboldry
I'm Glad My Mom Died by Jennette McCurdy

dark emotional funny sad fast-paced

4.75

i’m floored by Jennette’s bravery to write this book. it absolutely breaks my heart time and time again to hear people’s experiences with child stardom at the hands of their parents. one of the highest forms of cruelty. 

this memoir is written incredibly well; it’s both funny and gut wrenching, and all too real to hear it from the perspective of the age she is writing about, rather than in retrospect. 

really enjoyed listening as an audiobook, hearing the moment she finally has to acknowledge the abuse her mother had put her through her whole life will really stick with me.
