I’m Glad My Mom Died by Jennette McCurdy was an engaging, authentic, and moving memoir of the challenges of an abusive mother and child actor. McCurdy’s writing style and structure reads like individual journal entries - short. It creates an intimacy in the reader and I’m sad the book is over.
“Why do we romanticize the dead? Why can’t we be honest about them? Especially moms. They’re the most romanticized of anyone,” (p303).
