I'm Glad My Mom Died

A poignant and humorous memoir, Jennette McCurdy, known for her roles in "iCarly" and "Sam & Cat," candidly shares her struggles as a former child actor. From early auditions at age six to her mother's ambitious dreams of stardom, McCurdy endured “calorie restriction,” constant makeovers, and invasive scrutiny. In "I’m Glad My Mom Died," she recounts the challenges that followed her rise to fame in "iCarly," navigating anxiety, shame, and self-loathing, leading to eating disorders and addiction. Her journey intensifies with the spinoff "Sam & Cat" and is further complicated by her mother's death from cancer. With unflinching detail, McCurdy narrates her path to recovery, embracing therapy, quitting acting, and discovering her true desires. This inspiring story is told with refreshing candor and dark humor, highlighting resilience, independence, and the simple joy of shampooing one’s own hair.
