A #1 New York Times bestseller, #1 international bestseller and memoir with more than 3 million copies sold, I’m Glad My Mom Died is Jennette McCurdy’s deeply personal account of child stardom, family control, addiction, eating disorders and reclaiming her own life.
McCurdy was six years old when she attended her first acting audition. Becoming a star was her mother’s dream, and Jennette learned early to shape her life around keeping her mother happy. That included strict calorie restriction, constant monitoring of her appearance and an intense lack of personal boundaries at home.
When she is cast in Nickelodeon’s iCarly, that dream becomes reality, but fame brings anxiety, shame and self-loathing rather than fulfilment. Her struggles with eating disorders, addiction and unhealthy relationships deepen as her career continues, including her role in Sam & Cat.
After her mother dies from cancer, McCurdy is left to confront the life she has been living and the choices that were made for her. Through therapy, leaving acting and beginning recovery, she starts deciding for herself what she actually wants.
Told with candour and dark humour, I’m Glad My Mom Died is a memoir about trauma, complicated family relationships, independence and rebuilding a sense of self.
