I’m glad My Mom Died by Jennette McCurdy

#1 New York Times Bestseller. #1 International Bestseller. Over 3 million copies sold. Some books earn those accolades — this one deserves every single one.

This is a memoir that will make you laugh out loud one moment and quietly catch your breath the next. Written with the kind of raw, unguarded honesty that’s genuinely rare, it’s the story of a little girl who grew up performing — not just on screen, but for the approval of a mother whose love came wrapped in impossible conditions.

From her very first audition at age six, through her rise to fame on iCarly and Sam & Cat, McCurdy pulls back the curtain on a childhood defined by “calorie restriction,” relentless scrutiny, and a bond with her mother that was as suffocating as it was sincere. She writes about eating disorders, addiction, and the long, quiet work of learning — for the first time — what she actually wants.

What makes this book so remarkable isn’t just what happened. It’s how she tells it. With dark humor, unflinching honesty, and a voice that feels like a friend finally telling the truth, this is a story of resilience that doesn’t ask for your pity — just your attention.
