I'm Glad My Mom Died

3.5 the first part was really good, the second was good but i think maybe the information about her coming to various realizations about her mom could have been teased out in more than just the last three pages of the book (considering the title of the memoir)

Obviously a very sensitive topic of ED dealt with in part 2 but as the reader you are sort of putting the nuanced pieces together about the mother on your own instead of of getting her thoughts until she sort of realizes she needs to relate those issues to her mother at the very end

See my goodreads review!

This was the first audiobook that I've ever listened to. I finished it in about 3 days. Not sure how long the actual book is but it seems like a quick read given the chapters were all very short (3-5 minutes, though some were 7-10 minutes). Even though you can pretty much google about whatever you want regarding any celebrity, I found myself invested in understanding her journey to recovery, feeling saddened by her experiences, and disappointed in what she had to go through. Jennette herself reads the audiobook so that made it all the more interesting.

Definitely want to do more audiobooks in the future.

I’m glad Jeannette’s mom is dead too. A powerful, honest and raw memoir that made me laugh and cry…sometimes in the same moment.

I don’t rate Memoirs
