Jennette McCurdy on female rage and reclaiming authority

McCurdy is following up her 2022 bestselling memoir with Half His Age, a novel that viscerally explores a teen’s relationship with her teacher. In 2022, Jennette McCurdy released her memoir I’m Glad My Mom Died, a brutally honest portrait of her life as a former child star, her battle with eating disorders, and, as the title would suggest, her rather complicated relationship with her mother.
