I'm Glad My Mom Died

Book • 2022
In this memoir, Jennette McCurdy recounts her life as a successful child actress on Nickelodeon, her brief career in country music, and the troubled and controlling relationship she had with her mother, Debra, who died from cancer in 2013.

The book is divided into two sections, 'Before' and 'After', detailing events before and after her mother's death.
