Jennette McCurdy's "I'm Glad My Mom Died" is a good one.
I'm also currently listening to Shari Frankie's " The House of My Mother"
(i swear i don't have mommy issues lol)
It fascinates me how much people remember about their lives when they're writing autobiographies, because I remember so little.

I didn’t grow up watching her on tv, but after hearing about some of her interviews, they intrigued me to learn more. and even though I didn’t really watch her, I had seen Victorious for the first time not long before reading the book. so, I was able to understand some of the things mentioned with Dan Schneider. it’s troubling to think about the things that child actors went through from such an early age, but that’s why I’m glad she spoke out about it and was able to raise awareness. it was very personal and moving to read
I want to read Cher’s memoir and will probably give a review when I’m done. she’s just so fascinating as both a celebrity and a person

Genuinely great memoir with insight into what it’s like to be a child actor

this one made me reflect deeply on the current status of my relationship with my mother and the things we don’t discuss, the things she doesn’t know about me and may never know and vice versa. I recently had the most enlightening conversation with my aunt (my moms only and younger sister) and it was interesting to hear her perspective on my tumultuous relationship with my mother and the parallels between our relationship and her own relationship with their mother, as a firsthand witness. the differences are vast but there are quite a bit of similarities. this book made me feel all kinds of things from deep sadness to highly hopeful. A good balance in stories. But def a reminder in reflecting on your own relationship with your own mother whether it was good, healthy, toxic, violent, or even nonexistent. Highly recommend.
