I'm Glad My Mom Died

I recommend it to every single person. The best book I ever read.

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS BOOK. This book is so well-rounded and well-thought-out and considered, where Jennette doesn't just depict her mom as this one-dimensional kind of villainous figure when she talks about the way that her mother behaved, but instead, also recognizes that her mum was troubled in her own way too and yeah like I said she's a complicated and nuanced person. The writing style is great it is so concise and to the point but also very very readable, and it feels very self-aware. She's not on the defence here, trying to paint herself out to be a saint, it's not like a hero and villain story. She also acknowledges when she makes mistakes and when things that have impacted her and her life caused her to act in a certain way. One thing I loved was the discussion of friendships, especially adult friendships, and how often those friendships are contextual. So they'll be like someone that you worked with or someone that you had an opportunity with someone that you were dating at a certain time in your life and she talks about how people do kind of move in and out of your life and how sometimes friendships do fluctuate or oscillate which I thought was fascinating to read. I'm glad I read this book because it's so brilliant and insightful, and I think everyone will rlly enjoy it and you don't need to have followed Jennette McCurdy's career or to know that much about her in order to appreciate this book and take a lot from it.

incredible book

Buy it and read it. Interesting look into the life of a young star.

I was upset to learn that Jennette, whom I viewed to be an excellent actor, quit acting. But then I found out that she was into writing, I felt happy. Her book is awesome, delves into some universal issues like growing up, eating disorders, mother-daughter relationships and some kind of relationships from them we are unguarded and realize them to be abusive only after we acquire abstract thinking ability and it was brave of her to be so honest about all her new experiences, if you know what I mean and most people would relate. Jen also deals with fame and how destructive fame can be. I found her to be a great observer of human relationships and also the items around her. Her visual skills are stunning. The last page broke me. Spoilers below: Because she finally came to realization of something she kept denying all the time. Wows. In conclusion, this was a unique experience.

Pretty good book as far as celebrity autobiographies go.
