Welcome to Litsy!

I‘m a little too old to be a fan of the shows she was in but I loved her story telling. I really enjoyed reading about her toxic mom, and the fact that she really had no idea until much later. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This was riveting. I didn't know what to expect with this book, I typically don't read auto- biographies but this was so interesting. The author's journey is incredible and poignant. I laughed out loud and cried just a bit too.

Of course with a daughter who is 18 now, iCarly was a staple in our house hold for many years. But this is not iCarly, and this is not Sam Puckett. This is Jennette McCurdy in all her pain & trauma & sadness, and it is a fantastic listen. Read by the author (loved hearing it in her voice), she delves in to her past full force. It is heartbreaking to see all that she went through in her early life, and still struggles with today. ⬇️⬇️

Very good. I listened to the audiobook, and it was somewhat disturbing but also deeply moving to hear this life story in Jeanette McCurdy‘s own voice.

Third completed square for #FourFoursin23! All of these were brilliant, except for His Large Pizza - that was trash! 😂 @Lauredhel

Jenette McCurdy is an actress/writer/director best known for her time on Nickelodeon but this memoir was mostly about her relationship with her mom and how it affected her life.
McCurdy‘s mom was a toxic, manipulative, controlling woman who‘s undiagnosed mental illness and bouts with cancer turned McCurdy‘s childhood into a series of bulimia, ugly, auditions, anxiety, roles, pain, and codependency. Heartbreaking but so good.

Book 9

I listened to I'm Glad My Mom Died, a memoir read by the author. It's a well-written, engaging look into the complicated relationship McCurdy had with her mother. I was intrigued by McCurdy's Mormon upbringing. Overall, though, I don't feel the book lived up to its hype. 3.5

4/5 🌟

Have never seen any of her shows but glad I read this honest and heartbreaking memoir. Couldn't imagine putting my daughter through anything that her mother put her through. That's some crazy and abusive stuff! Glad she's getting the help she needs.

5/5

I don‘t know why this list was so hard to make, but I honestly STRUGGLED! I have so many goals for January, and 2023 in general, so choosing ONLY 25 books was a proper chore. You‘re making me WORK @TheAromaofBooks 😅😂
