I'm Glad My Mom Died
Jennette McCurdy
This memoir by a former child actor details her struggles with eating disorders, addiction, and a tumultuous relationship with her overbearing mother who pushed her to become a star. Despite achieving fame on Nickelodeon, the author's anxiety and self-loathing only worsened. When her mother passed away from cancer, the author finally finds the strength to quit acting and embark on a journey of self-discovery and recovery. Told with refreshing honesty and dark humor, this memoir is an inspiring tale of resilience and independence.

@ChloeCondon @jennettemccurdy It's such a good book -- I even wound up buying the Audible version, which I almost never do after reading the book. – source2022-08-16T02:21:17.000Z
I will say at first the title stunned me. But then I saw an interview with @jennettemccurdy and was so impressed I bough the book. Read the book. Couldn’t put it down. Cried. Loved it. It’s a very powerful read. ❤️ – source2022-09-22T23:44:07.000Z
I read 'I'm Glad My Mom Died' in one sitting today and I really really liked it but I am confused by the people saying it's a funny book. Maybe it's funny as an audiobook with Jennette reading it? Because the book itself is harrowing nonstop. – source
