I'm Glad My Mom Died by Jennette McCurdy
5.0
challenging dark emotional reflective sad tense medium-paced

 
For somebody who grew up in toxic Christian culture, this book hit close to home. The entire comparison or you will never be good enough no matter what you do.  Also, the mother thought that is more important than how you look and how other people see you and many other things. And later in life seek therapy because of that.  

I like the level of detail in recalling these events and how she describes them.  And later how she writes about her recovery. 

I enjoy this book even though I never watch any episode of icarly or Sam & Cat. You can tell she’s passionate about writing and I am more than excited to read her other books in future.
