I'm Glad My Mom Died by Jennette McCurdy

BATB score: 10/10 💛

An extremely heartfelt memoir about a mother’s influence on a daughter to live a dream that she never had (yet not at all the daughter’s dream)

Best for: daughters with mother issues that metamorphose into forever self-doubt and low self-esteem of never being good enough

Best to: quickly check “Jennette McCurdy Through the Years 2005-2014 | NickRewind”, “Sam Puckett’s Fried Chicken Addiction”, and “Sam Puckett’s Butter Sock” on Youtube to witness her childhood stardom and iconic performance prior to reading this book

Best as: right intentions yet all the wrongs gone bad

Best quotes: “I feel like the world is divided into two types of people: people who know loss and people who don’t.”

“Men, they’ll hurt you without ever really knowing you. But women will know you deeply, intimately, and then hurt you. You tell me which is worse.”

“I always forget that trying to reason with the unreasonable is unreasonable.”

“How many times can you pratfall over a carpet or sell a line you don’t believe in before your soul dies?”
