Book Review: “I’m Glad My Mom Died” by Jennette McCurdy

Apr 23

Håfa adai! Welcome to my review of The House of My Mother: A Daughter’s Quest for Freedom, a biography by Shari Franke.

This book review consists of two parts: a brief summary of content followed by my personal takeaways. Unlike other bookshelves on the Bookmarks & Armchairs blog, I will not provide numbered ratings for the works featured in the Biographies & Memoirs bookshelf. If a book is featured in this bookshelf, you may assume that I recommend it to others. I may go into detail about some parts of the book, but I will leave out the greater nuance so as to encourage you to purchase a copy of your own.
