Story
Jennette McCurdy was six years old when she had her first acting audition. Her mother’s dream was for her only daughter to become a star, and Jennette would do anything to make her mother happy. So she went along with what Mom called “calorie restriction." She endured extensive at-home makeovers while Mom chided, “Your eyelashes are invisible, okay? You think Dakota Fanning doesn’t tint hers?” She was even showered by Mom until age sixteen while sharing her diaries, email, and all her income. In I’m Glad My Mom Died, Jennette recounts all this in unflinching detail.

Really captivating book of Jeanette’s life!
Reviewed: 12-19-24
This was a really great book! I’m so sad for the hardships she went through and how toxic her mom and grandparents and family were. Wow! She deserves to be happy and free of the abuse and to be healthy! She was so vulnerable in sharing her life and being so public and yet hurting inside and going through eating disorders brought on by her own mother. Just an all around great read! Her voice was soothing as well!

You live in a world that wasn't designed for you. A world where you're expected to sit still, stay quiet, and focus. Because of the way your brain is wired, you can feel like you’re failing at life. But you are not failing. You are awesome. Award-winning content creators Kim and Penn Holderness are on a mission to reboot how we think about the unfortunately named "attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder." As always, they are doing it by looking in the mirror, because they don't just study ADHD; they live it.

This book went in to detail on so many areas of ADHD. Hearing perspectives from both sides was helpful! I enjoyed Kim and Penn’s banter and you can hear the love they have for one another! As someone who does not have ADHD but has a family member who does I am glad I read this book!! Highly recommend!

Reviewed: 04-29-24
This book had many tough topics. Frankie is brave yet spoiled, she goes to war then comes home to be shamed by family for her years in Vietnam! There are far too many love stories. So much sadness and hurt, she’s really going through so much pain for so long! Thankful the ending is good! Was hard to read at times but glad to learn about the women in Vietnam!

This book was really helpful. I liked the layout within the chapters focusing on one thing. She reminds you to choose you first and not be afraid to say no without explaining your why because you don’t have to! It’s a great listen! Highly recommend!
