I'm Glad My Mom Died by Jennette McCurdy

challenging dark emotional hopeful inspiring reflective sad tense fast-paced

5.0

I remember growing up and loving coming home from school to watch iCarly. Sam & Cat came along which I found a bit cringey. Then they ended and I pretty much forgot about all of it. 

Then I saw all of the hype for Jennette releasing her book and the title alone grabbed my attention. Everyone was talking about it and my first thought was that it was just going to be another boring celeb autobiography with no substance and bad writing. 

It's a tough read because Jennette is so open and honest about her struggles with eating disorders, her toxic relationship with her mother and trying to deal with a lot of fame she never asked for in the first place. Her writing is so impressive and I admire how candid she is, it's not easy talking about our demons, let alone telling the whole world.

I hope she continues to take care of herself and if she ever writes anything else, I would definitely read it.
