Our March choice is our first non fiction read in quite a while; Jennette McCurdy’s “I’m Glad My Mom Died” is a darkly comic yet deeply poignant memoir in which the former child star (best known for her role in the Nickelodeon sitcom iCarly) recounts her upbringing under the control of her abusive, manipulative mother. It traces her struggles with eating disorders, shame, and the pressures of fame, while charting her eventual path toward independence and healing. In sharp, candid prose, McCurdy transforms painful experiences into a story of survival, resilience, and reclaiming her own voice.
