Just finished "I'm Glad My Mom Died" by Jennette McCurdy, and wow. This memoir is incredibly sad yet eye-opening. McCurdy shares her raw experiences growing up as Sam from iCarly, revealing the heartbreaking struggles and abuse she faced, not just from her mother but also within the harsh realities of the entertainment industry. It's a reminder of the shadows behind the glitz and glamour. Be prepared for a journey into honesty and healing.

This book was amazing not to mention really sad. I feel for Jennette and the hard times she had to face growing up. As I always looked up to her since I was younger, being able to hear her story made me gain even more respect for her. After I read her story last year, I began to come across rumors about her time being on ICarly and completely understand as to why she no longer chooses to act. This book was a 10/10 read, I literally could not put it down.
