I'm Glad My Mom Died * Jennette McCurdy

A heartbreakingly honest, darkly funny, and fiercely brave memoir about the price of child stardom and the struggle to reclaim your own life.

Before she was a breakout Nickelodeon star on iCarly, Jennette McCurdy was a child actor driven by one singular mission: making her mother happy. In this #1 New York Times bestseller, McCurdy pulls back the curtain on her rise to fame, detailing the intense control her mother exerted over her career, her body, and her identity.

With sharp wit and raw honesty, McCurdy tackles heavy themes, including eating disorders, addiction, and emotional abuse, while navigating the complicated grief of losing her mother to cancer. The shocking title gives way to an inspiring journey of recovery, independence, and the courage it takes to choose yourself.
