Jennette McCurdy was six years old when she had her first acting audition. Her mother’s dream was for her only daughter to become a star, and Jennette would do anything to make her mother happy. So she went along with what Mom called “calorie restriction." She endured extensive at-home makeovers while Mom chided, “Your eyelashes are invisible, okay? You think Dakota Fanning doesn’t tint hers?” She was even showered by Mom until age sixteen while sharing her diaries, email, and all her income. In I’m Glad My Mom Died, Jennette recounts all this in unflinching detail.

Waldo is ravenous. Horny. Blunt. Naive. Wise. Impulsive. Lonely. Angry. Hurting. Endlessly wanting. And the thing she wants most of all? Mr. Korgy, her creative writing teacher. Mr. Korgy, with the wife and the kid and the mortgage and the bills, with the dead dreams and the atrophied looks and the growing paunch. She doesn't know why she wants him.

Jennette McCurdy was zes jaar oud toen ze haar eerste acteerauditie deed. Het was haar moeders droom dat haar enige dochter een ster zou worden, en Jennette had er alles voor over om haar moeder gelukkig te maken. Als de droom eindelijk uitkomt en ze wordt gecast voor de nieuwe Nickelodeon-serie iCarly is haar moeder extatisch, maar wordt Jennette overspoeld door angst, schaamte en zelfhaat, wat zich uiteindelijk vertaalt in eetstoornissen, verslaving en een hoop ongezonde relaties.

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of I’m Glad My Mom Died comes a sad, funny, thrilling novel about sex, consumerism, class, desire, loneliness, the internet, rage, intimacy, power, and the (oftentimes misguided) lengths we’ll go to in order to get what we want. Startlingly perceptive, mordantly funny, and keenly poignant, Half His Age is a rich character study of a yearning seventeen-year-old who disregards all obstacles—or attempts to overcome them—in her effort to be seen, to be desired, to be loved.

Jennette McCurdy erzählt herzergreifend und mit bitterem Humor von ihrem traumatischen Leben als ehemaliger Kinder-Star in "iCarly" und der krankhaften Beziehung zu ihrer Mutter. Seit sie denken kann, wird Jennette von ihrer Mutter beherrscht, emotional erpresst und psychisch wie körperlich missbraucht. Das einzige, was Debra sich für ihre Tochter – aber vor allem für sich selbst – wünscht, ist Jennettes Erfolg als Fernseh-Star. Für Jennette beginnt ein Kreislauf aus Castings, Angstattacken und Selbsthass.

Jennette McCurdy doesn't give a f*ck. Except that she does. She gives many f*cks. So many, in fact, that she hurts constantly. "This is what it means to be human," Jennette said in an exclusive quote for this podcast description. She said it with her chin in her palm, taking herself seriously.
