It’s by far one of the most unique and incredible memoir covers in existence. The title is to the point, and the cover features a joyous McCurdy holding her mother’s urn. Yet the most controversial by far has been that McCurdy is beyond blunt about her relationship with her deceased mother. The book caused a stir for a multitude of reasons, such as details of behavior on the iCarly set such as underage drinking and weirdly sexually charged favoritism. ICarly actress and recent author Jennette McCurdy has fallen into the discourse machine, with people ripping her truth limb from limb with judgment, for her new memoir out through Simon & Schuster I’m Glad My Mom Died. Once I discovered people didn’t actually enjoy honesty about family, the stock answers became more creative and revealing: “Yeah, my dad once told me that no one would go on a reading tour with me unless they wanted to use me as a used condom.” “You know Epstein? Imagine he was your dad.” Or the honest answer to the what if: “I was beaten by a mobster and then cut out my dad four months later because I realized he had sexually abused me.” Once people break through their discomfort, they inevitably just have to say, “Yeah, you’re right. Eventually they formed from the repetitive explanation that was always demanded when the subject of family came up.
McCurdy, who quit acting several years ago, declined to reprise her role to prioritize her "mental health and happiness.I’ll never forget any of the numerous times that well-meaning people have said to me “Oh, I’m sure your dad meant well” or “Yeah, my dad spanked me once or twice but I couldn’t imagine not talking to him again because of it” or “What if he dies? What then? Won’t you regret not talking to him?” In the beginning, I didn’t have stock answers. The actor said they had "drifted apart" in more recent years but that Cosgrove reached out to her about joining Paramount+'s "iCarly" revival series. She said that three years after the show ended, her friendship with Cosgrove was "a source of camaraderie and emotional support." McCurdy added that Cosgrove was "very supportive" of her eating-disorder recovery. McCurdy feared that their friendship would dissipate once "iCarly" concluded, but in her memoir, she said their bond became "stronger." And I was so excited we were becoming friends." Her way of observing things - people, habits, human nature. So many of the things she said made me laugh. She added: "Even though in person Miranda seemed shy and quiet, she had a distinct and hilarious personality through her written words. She'd leave the room and then I'd pull the text bubble back up and start laughing." "Sometimes if Mom walked past and asked me what I was doing, I'd tell her I was talking to Miranda, but most of the time I'd shrink the AIM text bubble, lie, and say I was doing schoolwork. "Miranda and I spent hours talking every day on it," McCurdy said. Their friendship eventually grew over the instant-messaging service AIM. McCurdy, Kress, and Cosgrove in season one of "iCarly."

"Mom warned me not to get too close to Miranda because she doesn't believe in God. "On set, Miranda said cuss words like 'shit' and 'ass,' and she took the Lord's name in vain at least 50 times a day," McCurdy wrote in her memoir. While Cosgrove seemed independent, McCurdy said she was constantly monitored by her overbearing mother, who she said taught her to become anorexic at 11 years old and was critical of her acting.
"Usually there's such a sense of competition. "I'm really surprised that another child actor would be so nice to me," McCurdy wrote. But when Cosgrove sent her a gift basket with movie-theater candy and a $100 gift card for the ArcLight theater, McCurdy was moved. McCurdy said she and Cosgrove didn't talk much while shooting the pilot, though they were friendly with each other. "She was leaning against a wall, sipping Coke from a glass bottle and texting on her Sidekick," McCurdy wrote. McCurdy recalled meeting Cosgrove at her screen test for "iCarly" and immediately thinking the "Drake & Josh" alum was much cooler than her.
