Reírse por no llorar

4 stars

La historia de Jennette es tan trágica que sólo funciona si la cuenta en clave de humor, así que no queda más remedio que reírse de las desgracias (muchas de ellas compartidas). Parece un ejercicio que haces con una terapeuta en el que cuentas momentos de tu vida que te han marcado, para bien o para mal, pero que acaban por construir tu persona. Es como si tu amiga te contara sus traumas familiares un día de cañas en un bar, y no puedes contener las interjecciones "buah tía mi madre es igual" y "joder, qué horror, me parto".

Review of "Summary of Jennette Mccurdy's I'm Glad My Mom Died" on 'Goodreads'

5 stars

What a book. Granted, you need to have a lot of stomach to read some of the crude realities it narrates, and yet it is a brilliant biography, an advisory on the evils of showbiz, and a portrait of the most human of all traits: imperfection, fallibility, and how to live with it.
