Audiobook Review - I'm Glad My Mom Died by Jennette McCurdy
If you're looking for an audiobook that will keep you glued from the first word, look no further than Jennette McCurdy's memoir, I'm Glad My Mom Died. The story is a roller-coaster of heartache and humor, told in a voice so candid it feels like a conversation with an old friend. McCurdy's narration is warm, relatable, and unafraid to dive into the darkest corners of her past-yet she never loses that sharp wit that made her a fan favorite on iCarly.
What sets this audiobook apart is how raw yet hopeful it feels. From the moment she was six and auditioning under her mother's watchful eye, McCurdy exposes the pressure of fame before it even becomes a reality. Her descriptions of "calorie restriction" sessions, endless make-ups, and an overbearing mom who watched every email are delivered with a blend of humor and sorrow that makes you laugh and cry in equal measure.
The narrative arc is compelling: the rise to stardom, the battle with eating disorders and addiction, and the heartbreaking loss of her mother. Yet it's not a cautionary tale-it's an empowering one. McCurdy shows how she found therapy, quit acting, and finally decided what she truly wanted from life. The audiobook ends on a note that feels both triumphant and tender: a celebration of independence, of learning to shampoo your own hair, and of reclaiming joy.
Listening to this book is like being held in the palm of a friend's hand. McCurdy's voice carries the weight of her experiences while remaining inviting and humorous. The pacing keeps you engaged; there are no long lulls-each chapter feels like a fresh page turned with anticipation. If you're curious about what it takes to grow up under the spotlight, or simply want an inspiring story told in a genuine, engaging way, I'm Glad My Mom Died is a must-listen. It's a testament to resilience and a reminder that sometimes the hardest truths can lead to the brightest futures.
