I'm Glad My Mom Died

*#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER* *#1 INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER* *MORE THAN 2 MILLION COPIES SOLD!* A heartbreaking and hilarious memoir by iCarly and Sam & Cat star Jennette McCurdy about her struggles as a former child actor—including eating disorders, addiction, and a complicated relationship with her overbearing mother—and how she retook control of her life. 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. She endured extensive at-home makeovers, calorie restrictions, and even showered by her mother until the age of sixteen. In *I’m Glad My Mom Died*, Jennette recounts her rise to fame, the ensuing mental health struggles, and the impact of her mother’s death from cancer. Ultimately, the memoir is a story of resilience and self-discovery told with dark humor.
