I'm Glad My Mom Died by Jennette McCurdy
3.0
challenging emotional sad tense fast-paced

"A heartbreaking and hilarious memoir..."

Heartbreaking - YES, very! but I have no idea where the hilarious is. This is a memoir about a young girl to adult who was sexually, physically and emotionally abused by her own mother. On top of that, the effects of being a child actor and growing up in that world where emotional and sexual abuse is very prevalent. There is not a drop of hilarious in this book.
I picked this book for our book club because I thought there was going to be some light-hearted reading included. That is so far from the truth!
Kudos to Jennette for having the strength to tell your story.
