I’m Glad My Mom Died

In this raw and darkly funny memoir, Jennette McCurdy—former iCarly and Sam & Cat star—shares her painful journey as a child actor controlled by her overbearing mother. Pushed into fame, Jennette endured emotional abuse, eating disorders, and constant pressure to be perfect.

When her mother dies of cancer, Jennette is left to confront years of trauma, fame-induced anxiety, and addiction. Through therapy and self-discovery, she finally takes back control of her life, leaving acting behind and learning to live on her own terms.

Told with honesty and humor, I’m Glad My Mom Died is a powerful story of healing, freedom, and reclaiming one’s identity.
