I'm Glad My Mom Died
Jennette McCurdy, 2022
A former Nickelodeon child star describes a childhood run by her mother, with deadpan humour and a hard-won ability to name what it cost.

McCurdy played Sam Puckett on iCarly and Sam & Cat; she has said she quit acting to write and direct, and began her podcast Empty Inside partly to explain why.
Feels like family, identity and unease.
What the anger is doing for you, and what it spares you.
I’m becoming an angry person with no tolerance for anyone. I’m aware of this shift and yet have no desire to change it. If anything, I want it. It’s armor. It’s easier to be angry than to feel to pain underneath it. Books by Jennette McCurdy
