I'm Glad My Mom Died

Former child actor lays out family dysfunction in painful detail.

I was skeptical at first to pick up this book because the title is so irreverent but the way in which Jennette McCurdy unfolds the horrors of her childhood is painful, funny, and downright mind-blowing all at the same time. I challenge any reader to pick up this book and decide for yourself if Jennette is justified or not in finding a sense of relief in her mother's death.
