Jennette McCurdy, I'M GLAD MY MOM DIED

Zibby is joined by former Nickelodeon star Jennette McCurdy to talk about her debut memoir, I'm Glad My Mom Died, and why she chose the book's eye-catching title. The two discuss some of the narratives Jennette grew up with that she had to unlearn in adulthood, as well as where she is now in her eating disorder recovery journey. Jennette also shares why it was important to write from her younger self's perspective, what it was like for her to write about such heavy topics, and which projects she's working on next.
