Book Club: I’m Glad My Mom Died | a Complicated Mother-Daughter Dynamic, Reflection on Fame, Control And Breaking the Mold
Description
#30 Mindi & Kiki dive into I’m Glad My Mom Died, the powerful memoir by former Nickelodeon star Jennette McCurdy. McCurdy recounts her rise to childhood fame, driven by her mother’s dreams, and the deeply abusive dynamic that shaped her early life. McCurdy explores difficult experiences including disordered eating that began at age 11, the challenges of navigating young adult relationships, and the lingering effects of being forced to chase perfection.
Mindi & Kiki feel that McCurdy’s memoir is an important read. The two reflect on the complex mother-daughter relationship at the heart of McCurdy’s story, discussing how mothers can unintentionally project their unhealed experiences onto their daughters and how important it is to break that cycle. McCurdy’s writing is heartbreakingly beautiful.
