I'm Glad My Mom Died

Hard-hitting memoir with a confronting title by McCurdy about her experiences with child acting, a mentally ill and abusive mother and eating disorders. Having never watched iCarly or Sam & Cat I never knew McCurdy any more than as a name heard in passing but I don't think that's a requirement for reading this book. The easy to read language, short chapters and captivating storytelling made this a page turner for me and I finished it in two sittings. Growing up with shows like toddlers and tiaras and movies like little miss sunshine I always had my concerns about putting children in the lime light and this was a very insightful book to read on the topic and only confirmed my suspicions.
