Icarly and Sam & Cat star Jennette McCurdy's painful and comic memoir about her hardships as a former child actor, including eating disorders, addiction, and a difficult relationship with her domineering mother, and how she regained control of her life.
When Jennette McCurdy went to her first acting audition, she was six years old. Jennette would do anything to fulfill her mother's wish for her one and only daughter to achieve fame. As a result, she followed her mother's advice to "calorie limit," eating little and weighing herself five times every day. Mom reprimanded, "Your eyelashes are invisible, okay? " while she underwent lengthy at-home makeovers. Do you believe Dakota Fanning tints hers? Mom even showered her till she was sixteen years old while sharing her email, diaries, and all of her money.
Jennette explains all of this in I'm Glad My Mom Died in harrowing detail, just as she describes what transpires when the dream ultimately materializes. She became well-known after being cast in the I Carly TV show. While Jennette is plagued with anxiety, guilt, and self-loathing, which manifests as eating problems, addiction, and a string of disastrous relationships, Mom is overjoyed, emailing fan club moderators and getting to know the paparazzi by name ("Hi Gale!"). As soon as she joins Ariana Grande in the lead role of the early spinoff Sam & Cat, her mother passes away from cancer, making these problems even worse. Finally, after learning about therapy and giving up acting, Jennette starts to rehabilitate and makes a life-changing decision.
I'm Glad My Mom Died is an uplifting tale about resiliency, independence, and the delight of doing your hair shampoo told with surprising candor and black humor.
