I would not say that this book was "impressively funny," as is stated by the cover, but I would say that I, too, am glad her mom died. This was an uncomfortable listen. Very well written, and McCurdy's Miranda Cosgrove impression is impeccably done, but truly such a sad story. The candor and bravery exhibited throughout it was beautiful, and I am grateful this is out. It is a raw look at the secret life of someone who impacted my childhood and countless others. A tragedy. 9/10. Wouldn't really recommend.
