In I'm Glad My Mom Died, Jennette McCurdy shares her raw and unfiltered journey through her challenging childhood and young adulthood. Born into a controlling and toxic environment, McCurdy recounts the immense pressure placed on her by her mother to pursue a career in acting, despite her own reluctance and disinterest. Her mother’s obsessive control over every aspect of her life—ranging from her eating habits to her career decisions—deeply impacts McCurdy’s mental and physical health. The book delves into the emotional abuse she suffered, as well as the struggles she faced growing up as a child star in Hollywood. Through vivid anecdotes, McCurdy illustrates the weight of her mother’s expectations and the confusion of navigating fame while grappling with personal insecurities.

The memoir also explores McCurdy’s eventual path to self-discovery and healing after her mother’s death. Freed from her mother’s grip, she begins to unpack the trauma and uncover her own identity, away from the roles and image her mother imposed on her. McCurdy confronts issues like eating disorders, anxiety, and repressed emotions, all while seeking therapy and building a new life on her own terms. Honest, darkly humorous, and deeply cathartic, I'm Glad My Mom Died is a testament to McCurdy’s resilience and an exploration of what it means to reclaim one’s narrative in the aftermath of pain and manipulation.
