my sister told me about this book. i love it. ive known about it for awhile now, and ive seen it everywhere, but i felt like the book was more about… i dont know, something not interesting and for me. so i avoided reading it. but then, on a random day in december, i came across an audiobook on spotify that came with my premium. i was really bored so i was thinking of listening to the first 5 mins. yeah i listened the next 3 hours actually.
i have never watched icary or sam & cat. but i knew about what i was. yes guys, hate me for never watching those shows. but i got a good feel for the shows through this book. if you dont know, jennette mccurdy was an actor for icary and was sam in sam & cat. she played a sarcastic role in the shows. also she loved food in her character. her book, “im glad my mom died” is her telling the story behind all the acting. and how unhappy she truly was. jennette had 3 brothers, they dont play a big part in her book, she lived with her gramdma, grandpa, dad and mom obviously. they had a pretty interesting household, no household is normal so yeah. her mother’s dreams since SHE was a kid was to be an actor, but her parents never let her. so when jennette was 6, her mom put her in her first audition. at first, jennette was fine about it, she was a good actor, and the best part was making her mom proud and happy. jennette and her mom had a really great bond. they were each other’s only friends and best friends. nuh uh. as she grew up, her fame exploded. and jennette felt like she was growing up too fast. and at the same time, she was still a kid. her mother controlled everything about jennette, her clothes, food, friends, hygiene, and social media. they had zero secrets kept. once jennette turned 18, she wanted to be on her own. her mother was soooo angry about it. dude, her mom is crazy, she said some nasty things id cry if someone ever spouted such things to me. but jennette was fine for some reason. anyways their relationship turned bitter after she did some things behind her mom’s back. it was just crazy. then her mom passed away. its not important how and why. whats important is how jennette grew from it. in some bad ways. she had an eating disorder. which messed up a lot of her life. guys this book lowwwkeeey funny ok? its so ateee
