I'm Glad My Mom Died by Jennette McCurdy
5.0
challenging dark emotional funny reflective fast-paced

I absolutely adore this book. Jennette is so vulnerable when talking about her relationship with her mom, her history and current struggle with eating disorders, her experience as a child actor, and alcoholism. She reflects on her experience as a child with a narcissistic mother who is living out her dream through her. It was so interesting to see Jennette come to terms with what her mother did and try to determine her identity outside of acting and her ED and pleasing her mom. I loved her internal dialogue while she was with her therapists, that was really fun to read. I hope she writes more if she wants to!
