The characters weren’t given very much background content and the illustrations made up for the information that was lacking. It not only helped you understand the storyline but also the characteristics of the characters. I really liked the rhyming and rhythm of this book.
She wears shoes with heels so she can be five foot two, because she says four foot eleven—her actual height—just doesn’t cut it. It’s so much that she doesn’t need, that I wish she wouldn’t use, but I can see her underneath it. And it’s who she is underneath it that is beautiful. Acerbic humor makes this dark tale of celebrity very readable and captivating. Jennette McCurdy recounts the toxic relationship she had with her very unwell -- physically and mentally -- mother.

The birthday wish is the most power I have in my life right now. I don’t take this opportunity for granted. Since 2020, homelessness in the state is up 6.2%. On any given night, the data showed half of all unsheltered homeless people in the country are in California. Since 2020, homelessness in California is up 6.2%.
I know better than to ask certain types of questions, the ones that go too deep into specifics. Instead, I just let Mom offer up the information she wants to offer up, while I listen closely and try to take it in exactly the way she wants me to. And I think I can do something about that fragility with my birthday wish. Marcus, Dustin, and Scottie are there too. I love all of them for different reasons. I guess this makes sense since he’s basically an adult—he’s fifteen—but even so, he seems to have a sturdiness to him that I haven’t seen in many other adults around me.

There wasn’t anything about the book that I disliked. "Umm do you remember when I was singing in your dress?" I started. "Ooooooh, Mommy remember," she interrupted with a small chuckle. "Daddy get so mad when he see you act like girl. He don't talk to Mommy for two days. Mommy think maybe you gay but Mommy not sure. You look so happy sing a song with banana." From early childhood there was so much expected of me.
Found something you love but want to make it even more uniquely you? Many sellers on Etsy offer personalized, made-to-order items. Oral Fixation is a live true, personal storytelling series for adults dedicated to community building and social change. All signs pointed toward me being gay, but to my mom and relatives I was just a kid having fun. I was fabulous that night and I knew it; that is, until my father walked in and saw me. Your mom should be your biggest cheerleader, not your biggest critic.

Mom was first diagnosed with stage four breast cancer when I was two years old. I hardly remember it, but there are a few flashes. Jennette McCurdy starred in Nickelodeon’s hit show iCarly and its spin-off, Sam & Cat, as well as in the Netflix series Between. In 2017, she quit acting and began pursuing writing/directing. Her films have been featured in the Florida Film Festival, the Salute Your Shorts Film Festival, Short of the Week, and elsewhere.
Another major sign of the mom-as-BFF conundrum is a mother who overshares. While everyone has different relationships with their parents, if you find that your mother is way more of an open book than your other friends' mothers, that might not necessarily be a good thing. You don't need your mom still on your case about where you are, all the time.
All in all, I think the author was extremely brave in telling her story and being so open and vulnerable. A beautiful story with lush, incredible illustrations. A soft tale of a little red haired toddler and her mother who share love each and every night when Mama Comes Home.
"I admire his strength to share this once painful but ultimately uplifting story of looking shame in the eye and choosing love." This one might seem obvious reading it on its own, but for a lot of people, it can be hard to notice that insults are actually harmful — not just playful fun. "The parent who scolds or verbally berates an adult child on a regular basis ," Klapow says. Secret-keeping is another major toxic mom red flag, according to Stanizai, who says the behavior is not a component of a healthy mother-child relationship. When a parent is prone to toxicity, they often have a Rolodex of biting phrases that come out on a regular basis. Things like “why don’t you just grow up” or “I never said that” might ring a bell.
Even though Mom says we’re watching this video so we can be grateful that she’s okay now, there’s something about watching this video that just doesn’t sit right with me. I can tell how uncomfortable it makes the boys, and it definitely makes me uncomfortable too. I don’t think any of us wants to be revisiting memories of our bald, sad, then-dying mom, but none of us express this. She doesn’t think she is, which is probably why she spends an hour doing her hair and makeup every day, even if she’s just going to the grocery store. I swear she looks better without that stuff. She spreads liquid tan stuff on her face and scrapes pencils along her tear ducts and smears lots of creams on her cheeks and dusts lots of powders on top.
Mom pauses the way she does before she’s about to say something she thinks is a part of a big moment. She bends around to look me in the eye—still holding my unfinished hair strand. ONE MORE ROW OF CLIPS and we’ll be done, Mom says, speaking of the butterfly clips that she’s carefully pinning into my head. I hate this hairstyle, the rows of tightly wound hair fastened into place with painful, scalp-gripping little clips.
I'll be honest, I didn't really know what to expect from this book going in; I wasn't aware of McCurdy's one-woman show of the same title, or of her podcast. The draw for me was the iCarly nostalgia of my tween years, and I have to say, after reading this book, I do feel a little guilty at how miserable McCurdy must have been making that show. Still, it's a fantastic read, and McCurdy's voice alone is worth picking this one up. I really hope she pursues other writing, because I'll be first in line to buy whatever she creates next.Thank you to Simon & Schuster and NetGalley for providing a copy for review. I thought this book was a cute and accurate depiction of what happens when a mom comes home from work.I also liked this book because of the relationship between the mother and child. I feel that many children can relate to what happens when their mothers come home from work.
