Drago mi je da je Mama mrtva je definitivno knjiga koja je izazvala reakcije svojom naslovnicom i naslovom, a koji su po meni apsolutno pogodili u srž same knjige i života Jennette. Pun pogodak!
Odmah po izlasku ovog naslova znala sam da ću ju kad tad čitati i iako sam djelomično znala o čemu se radi moram priznati da me svejedno uspjela šokirati. Ova beskrajno hrabra mlada žena na najiskreniji, a istovremeno duhovit način opisuje svoje djetinjstvo i odrastanje uz (po meni) narcisoidnu majku, svijet showbiznisa i megapopularnog kanala Nickelodeona. Šokantnih događaja je stvarno puno, od zamjeranja dvogodišnjoj Jennette za bolesti, narušavanja intime, seksualnog i psihičkog zlostavljanja, do manipulacija u odrasloj dobi.
Nije svaka majka mama, a Jennette je to nažalost shvatila na teži način.
I iako stvarno nije lako čitati o tome drago mi je da je autorica skupila i hrabrost i snagu progovoriti o svemu te time započela svoj put ka ozdravljenju. A napravila je to doista u najboljoj mogućoj formi – jasno, glasno, iskreno, duhovito i fantastično napisano!
Ogromna preporuka od mene i puno hvala izdavaču!

I’m Glad My Mom Died – Jennette McCurdy
I’m glad My Mom Died is definitely a book that caused reactions with its cover and title, which in my opinion absolutely hit the heart of the book itself and Jennette’s life. A perfect hit!
Immediately after this title came out, I knew that I would read it at some point and even though I partially knew what it was about, I must admit that it still managed to shock me. This infinitely brave young woman describes her childhood and growing up with (in my opinion) a narcissistic mother, the world of showbiz and the mega-popular Nickelodeon channel in the most honest and at the same time humorous way. There are really a lot of shocking events, from blaming two-year-old Jennette for illnesses, violation of intimacy, sexual and psychological abuse, to manipulation in adulthood.
Not every mother is a mom, and Jennette unfortunately found that out the hard way.
And although it’s really not easy to read about it, I’m glad that the author gathered the courage and strength to talk about everything and thus began her journey to healing. And she really did it in the best possible form – clear, loud, sincere, witty and fantastically written!
A huge recommendation from me and many thanks to the publisher!
