In her poignant and witty memoir, former child actor Jennette McCurdy shares the story of her struggles with eating disorders, addiction, and a difficult relationship with her overbearing mother. At just six years old, Jennette began auditioning for acting roles to fulfill her mother's dream of seeing her daughter become a star. However, this dream came at a cost, as Jennette endured calorie restriction, extensive makeovers, and a lack of privacy, including sharing all her income and personal diary entries with her mother.
Despite the hardships, Jennette's dream finally came true when she was cast in the Nickelodeon series iCarly, thrusting her into the spotlight. But as her fame grew, so did her anxiety, self-loathing, and destructive behavior. These issues worsened when her mother passed away from cancer while Jennette was filming the iCarly spinoff Sam & Cat, leaving her to cope with the loss alone.
In I'm Glad My Mom Died, Jennette candidly reflects on these experiences, detailing her journey to recovery through therapy and ultimately deciding to step away from acting to prioritize her own well-being. With a mix of humor and honesty, Jennette's memoir is an inspiring testament to resilience and the importance of finding one's own path in life.
