| Summary |
Jennette tenía seis años cuando fue a su primera audición. El sueño de su madre era que su única hija fuera una estrella, y Jennette estaba dispuesta a todo para hacerla feliz. Aceptó su plan de "restricción de calorías", que consistía en comer poco y pesarse cinco veces al día. Soportó sus maquillajes y reproches: "Tus pestañas son invisibles, ¿vale? ¿Crees que Dakota Fanning no se tiñe las suyas?". Su madre la bañó hasta los dieciséis años, y se vio obligada a compartir con ella sus diarios, su correo electrónico y todos sus ingresos. En Me alegro de que mi madre haya muerto, Jennette relata todo lo que sucedió cuando su sueño finalmente se hizo realidad. Seleccionada para participar en una serie de Nickelodeon llamada iCarly, se ve lanzada a la fama. Aunque su madre está extasiada, contesta los mails de los fans y llama a los paparazzi por su nombre de pila ("¡Hola, Gale!"), Jennette se siente llena de ansiedad, vergüenza y autodesprecio, lo que se manifiesta en trastornos alimentarios, adicciones y relaciones tóxicas. Los problemas empeoran cuando, tras aceptar el papel principal junto a Ariana Grande en Sam & Cat, el spin-off de iCarly, su madre muere de cáncer. Finalmente, después de descubrir la terapia y dejar la actuación, Jennette se embarca en su propia recuperación y decide, por primera vez en su vida, hacer lo que quiere. Contada con humor negro y una franqueza refrescante, Me alegro de que mi madre haya muerto es una inspiradora historia de resiliencia, independencia, y la alegría que proporciona lavarse el pelo una misma. |

Enter the harrowing and hilarious biography of Jennette McCurdy, the star of iCarly and Sam & Cat, in which she chronicles her struggles as a child actress, her eating disorders, her addictions, her complicated relationship with her mother, and how she regained control of her life. Jennette was six years old when she went to her first audition. Her mother's dream was for her only daughter to be a star, and Jennette was willing to do anything to make her happy. He accepted his "calorie restriction" plan, which consisted of eating little and weighing himself five times a day. She endured her make-up and reproaches: "Your eyelashes are invisible, okay? Do you think Dakota Fanning doesn't dye hers?" Her mother bathed her until she was sixteen, and she was forced to share with her her journals, her email, and all of her income. In I'm Glad My Mother Died, Jennette recounts everything that happened when her dream finally came true. Selected to participate in a Nickelodeon series called iCarly, she is launched to fame. Although her mother is ecstatic, answering fan emails and calling the paparazzi by her first name ("Hi, Gale!"), Jennette is filled with anxiety, shame, and self-loathing, which manifests itself in eating disorders, addictions, and toxic relationships. Problems worsen when, after accepting the lead role opposite Ariana Grande in Sam & Cat, the iCarly spin-off, her mother dies of cancer. Eventually, after discovering therapy and quitting acting, Jennette embarks on her own recovery and decides, for the first time in her life, to do what she wants. Told with dark humor and refreshing candor, I'm Glad My Mother Died is an inspiring story of resilience, independence, and the joy of washing your own hair. "Jennette McCurdy has lemons and makes lemonade. She uses her trauma to weave a painfully funny story that sheds light on the commodification of adolescence in America. An important cultural and searing personal document." |
