I'm Glad My Mom Died

This memoir is both sad and hopeful. Jennette discloses her narcissist mother's many abuses and her struggle with eating disorders from the age of eleven through her early twenties. Between those two major throughlines is a great deal of experiences and personal growth. There's a lot to appreciate here, and anyone interested in the lives of child actors should give this a read. This is a perfect complement to the docuseries Quiet on Set.

Harrowing? Yes. Hilarious, not so much.

This was a tough but important read.
