#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER#1 INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLERMORE THAN 3.5 MILLION COPIES SOLD!A heartbreaking and hilarious memoir by iCarly and Sam & Cat star Jennette McCurdy about her struggles as a former child actor—including eating disorders, addiction, and a complicated relationship with her overbearing mother—and how she retook control of her life.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, whatever it took, and Jennette would do anything to make her mother happy. So she went along with what her mother called “calorie restriction”, weighing herself five times a day and ultimately shrinking down to 89 pounds. She endured extensive at-home makeovers using knockoff whitening strips, hot curlers, eyelash tint, and gobs of bleach to enhance her “natural beauty.” She was showered by her mother until age sixteen while sharing her diaries, an email account, and all her earnings. The dream finally comes true when Jennette is cast in a new Nickelodeon series called iCarly and is thrust into fame. But for Jennette, the dream is a nightmare.Practically overnight, her fake smile and cheesy airbrushed hair-do is plastered on billboards across the country. And though her mom is ecstatic, ordering her to smile for the paparazzi (with whom she’s on a first-name basis) and sign endless autographs for fans who only know her by her character’s name, Jennette is riddled with anxiety, shame and self-loathing, which manifest into eating disorders, addiction and a series of unhealthy relationships.These issues only get worse when Jennette’s mother dies of cancer. Finally, after discovering therapy and coldly examining the relationship with her mother, Jennette embarks on recovery and decides for the first time in her life what she really wants. Told with raw honesty and equal parts gravity and humor, I’m Glad My Mom Died is a a shocking, devastating, and ultimately inspiring story of resilience.

A heartbreaking and hilarious memoir by iCarly and Sam & Cat star Jennette McCurdy about her struggles as a former child actor—including eating disorders, addiction, and a complicated relationship with her overbearing mother—and how she retook control of her life. 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,” eating little and weighing herself five times a day. 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—just as she chronicles what happens when the dream finally comes true. Cast in a new Nickelodeon series called iCarly, she is thrust into fame. Though Mom is ecstatic, emailing fan club moderators and getting on a first-name basis with the paparazzi (“Hi Gale!”), Jennette is riddled with anxiety, shame, and self-loathing, which manifest into eating disorders, addiction, and a series of unhealthy relationships. These issues only get worse when, soon after taking the lead in the iCarly spinoff Sam & Cat alongside Ariana Grande, her mother dies of cancer. Finally, after discovering therapy and quitting acting, Jennette embarks on recovery and decides for the first time in her life what she really wants. Told with refreshing candor and dark humor, I’m Glad My Mom Died is an inspiring story of resilience, independence, and the joy of shampooing your own hair.

Waldo is ravenous. Horny. Blunt. Naive. Wise. Impulsive. Lonely. Angry. Forceful. Hurting. Perceptive. Endlessly wanting. And the thing she wants most of all: Mr. Korgy, her creative writing teacher 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. Is it his passion? His life experience? The fact that he knows books and films and things that she doesn’t? Or is it purer than that, rooted in their unlikely connection, their kindred spirits, the similar filter with which they each take in the world around them? Or, perhaps, it’s just enough that he sees her when no one else does. 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 var bara sex år när hon gick på sin första filmaudition. Hennes mammas dröm var att dottern skulle få det liv hon själv drömt om - ett liv som filmstjärna. I ett Hollywoodklimat med hård konkurrens, drillas Jennette av mamman inför otaliga auditions och möten med agenter.

När Jennette får sin stora roll i Nickelodeons iCarly eskalerar mammans kontrollerande beteende. Hon inför strikta matscheman och nitisk kontroll av Jennettes kropp. Fram till 16 års ålder duschades Jennette av sin mamma och hon vägdes fem gånger om dagen. Medan mamman njuter av stjärnglansen, hanterar Jennette kraftig ätproblematik, självhat, ångest och tvångssyndrom.

Men samtidigt som Jennette får huvudrollen i spinoff-serien Sam & Cat, dör mamman i cancer. Det blir starten på Jennettes resa mot bättre hälsa och hon får hjälp att hantera sitt förflutna och sitt självskadebeteende.

JAG ÄR GLAD ATT MAMMA DOG är en självutlämnande och uppriktig berättelse om relationen till mamman, kändisskapets påfrestningar och det egna självutplånandet. Med mörk humor och snillrika anekdoter åstadkommer Jennette McCurdy en oöverträffad uppväxtskildring om kontroll, återerövring och om frigörelsen i att finna sig själv.

Jennette McCurdy spelade i Nickelodeons succéserie iCarly och i spinoffserien Sam & Cat, liksom i Netflix-serien Between.

Sjuttonåriga Waldo är hungrig. Kåt. Kantig. Klok. Naiv. Impulsiv. Ensam. Arg. Stark. Sårad. Insiktsfull. Hon har ett ändlöst begär. Och det hon begär mest av allt: Mr Korgy, läraren i kreativt skrivande som kommer med fru och barn, bolån, vissna drömmar och en växande kulmage.

Waldo vet inte varför hon vill ha honom – är det hans passion eller kunskap hon är ute efter? Eller är det djupare än så, kan det vara den osannolika anknytning de känner, deras unikt gemensamma världsåskådning. Kan det bara vara så att han ser henne när ingen annan gör det?

Half his age är en oförsonlig, vild och dräpande uppgörelse med allt det innebär att vara en ung kvinna i en värld som inte är skapad för vare sig dem eller deras begär – eller raseri för den delen. Boken har redan hyllats internationellt och har legat på New York Times bästsäljarlista sedan den släpptes.

Jennette McCurdy blev känd genom Nickelodeons succéserie iCarly och spinoffserien Sam & Cat, liksom Netflix-serien Between. År 2017 lade hon skådespelandet på hyllan till förmån för att skriva och regissera. Numera ses hennes verk på välrenommerade filmfestivaler och i exempelvis The Wall Street Journal. Hennes första bok Jag är glad att mamma dog, en uppgörelse med uppväxten och den påtvingade skådespelarkarriären, låg på New York Times bästsäljarlista i 80 veckor och vann Goodreads Choice Awards 2022 i kategorin Bästa Biografi och Memoar.

"Lika oförsonlig och obestridlig som sin protagonist. McCurdy behandlar Waldos begär med ett nästan vördnadsfullt allvar." – Elle

"Rolig, äcklig, obehaglig, gripande." – The Washington Post

"Djärv och uppkäftig ... McCurdy fortsätter att ta sig an de obekväma samtal som i slutändan leder diskursen." – Harper s Bazaar

"En berättelse om hämnd ... Och om den gör dig förbannad på såväl feminism som fartbind konsumtion eller könsmaktsordningen i relationer med stor åldersskillnad så är det helt rätt" – Rolling Stone

From the actor known for Skins and Games of Thrones, a deeply intimate, shockingly honest memoir about acting, fame, mental illness and the struggle to leave a cult-like organisation whose belief in magic shattered Hannah’s reality.'Extraordinary, propulsive, immersive ... like nothing I have ever read before' DOLLY ALDERTON'A memoir of real literary power ... fascinating and uniquely compelling' NAOISE DOLAN'Intensely open-hearted and lyrical ... a stunning achievement' SOPHIE MACKINTOSHIn 2017, Hannah Murray was a successful actor whose career had taken her to Hollywood and given her the opportunity to act with A list stars and Oscar-winning directors. But as the daily costs of acting grew, from the degradations of auditions to repeating violent scenes over and over, Hannah found herself searching for something to make her feel better. One day, a reiki healer promises her a new kind of treatment, a kind of magic, and all of a sudden Hannah’s life is changed.Back in London, she becomes increasingly involved with the organisation behind the magic, an organisation whose charismatic leader, promises of secret knowledge, and increasingly complex rituals, are seductive, cult-like – and ultimately destructive, as Hannah finds herself on a week-long course from her friends and family - and her sanity falls apart. Detained in hospital, she struggles to understand the difference between what’s real, and what’s imagined. The result is a propulsive, shockingly honest, and extraordinarily intimate portrayal of a mind taken over the edge.From the outer edges of fame, through Hollywood film sets and London parties, Hannah’s life has slowly moved from that of a successful starlet to that of a young woman seduced by the magical thinking of an organisation that promises health and happiness beyond her wildest dreams, but her reality becomes far more disturbing than she could ever have imagined.Shocking, intimate and compulsive, The Make-Believe is an ultimately uplifting and inspiring story of empathy, resilience and the power of belief.

'Like nothing else you will read' Hilary MantelTop 25 History Books of the Year, The Times - the perfect gift for book lovers this Christmas!Every day a beloved father dies. Every day a lover departs. Every day a woman turns forty.All three happening together brings a moment of reckoning.Medieval historian Elizabeth Boyle made sense of these events the best way she knew how - by immersing herself in the literature that has been her first love and life's work for over two decades.Fierce Appetites is the exhilarating and deeply humane result. Not only does Elizabeth Boyle write dazzling accounts of ancient stories, familiar and obscure, from Ireland and further afield, but she uses her historical learning to grapple with the raw and urgent questions she faces, questions that have bedevilled people in every age. She writes on grief, addiction, family breakdown, the complexities of motherhood, love and sex, memory, class, education, travel (and staying put) with unflinching honesty, deep compassion and occasional dark humour.Fierce Appetites is captivating and original - as an insight into the mind and heart of a groundbreaking scholar, and as a wise and reassuring account of what it is to be human._____________________'Wonderful . . . I laughed. I cried. I was blown away' The Times'Pure nectar for the imagination' Irish Examiner 'Unusual, arresting and genuinely enriching' Irish Times'I loved this luminous, radical book about bodies in time. It is a deeply personal history, that simultaneously brings medieval myth and poetry to breathing, bleeding life. An education for the mind and the heart' Clare Pollard'Highly original . . . engagingly candid [and] thought-proviking' Irish Independent'An eloquent plea for the value of curiosity and the life of the mind, standing up the robustness of scholarship against the frailty of individuals, the resilience of myth against brittle daily preoccupations.

I found myself completely absorbed' Ryan Tubridy'I absolutely loved this utterly original book. Immersing myself in Elizabeth Boyle's considerable brain was a true privilege, and the way she uses medieval narratives to unpick her own present was endlessly surprising and beautiful. I read it in two sittings, devouring her perspective on life, love, loss' Clover Stroud'Fiercely smart, strange, surprising, unsettling, unflinching' Jennifer O'Connell, Irish Times'An outstanding achievement. Fierce Appetites defies easy categorization, is brilliantly written and simply deserves to be read' Darach Ó Séaghdha'Everything is illuminated, magnified, revisioned: sexual desire, motherhood, family.

But there was just one problem: he was not, in fact, a woman. When he was swept off his feet by a handsome Australian man in New York City, Sean's dreams of marriage and parenthood suddenly became a reality. The only things standing in his way: outdated marriage laws, hundreds of thousands of dollars and a healthy dose of internalised homophobia. Though he had to battle intense family drama, depression and a difficult move to the other side of the world, he succeeded in becoming a father to boy-girl twins.What happens when the traditional parenting rules, 10,000 years in the making, simply don't apply? Not Like Other Dads is a raw, rollicking memoir about gay parents raising kids without a map – or nap.

'A must-read memoir' SUNDAY TIMES STYLE'Candid, razor sharp and hysterical' GLAMOUR'Charming, radical, funny and intimate' BETHANY RUTTER'Savvy, hilarious and straight to the point' ALICE SLATER'Greedy Guts is a revelation - it's a book that'll make you laugh and cry in equal measure' IONE GAMBLE'I love this book so much; it's so funny and honest in a way that's really going to kick people in the teeth' SAMANTHA IRBYGrowing up chronically online in the depths of South Wales, Gina was raised in one of the most unforgiving times to be a girl: the early 2000s. Grappling with the era's body shaming and blatant sexism while dealing with a growing body of her own, she had to learn to navigate a world where internet trolls were a given, fancying her was declared a fetish and starving herself was actively encouraged by her GP. As she grew a little older and wider, Gina started to embrace her fatness. With candour, heart and humour, she invites us to rethink beauty standards, fatphobic culture - and ourselves - and shows how fat and female liberation go hand in hand. Exploring sexuality and relationships, appetite and indulgence, this is an empowering ode to living a life without sacrificing a single ounce of pleasure.Co-host of The Polyester Podcast with Ione Gamble, Gina Tonic has been named one to watch for 2025 by Sunday Times Style and 'the writer and editor empowering a generation of fat babes' by Dazed.

The former Sex & Relationships Editor for Cosmopolitan and host of the wildly popular comedy show Tinder Live with Lane Moore presents her poignant, funny, and deeply moving first book.Lane Moore is a rare performer who is as impressive onstage—whether hosting her iconic show Tinder Live or being the enigmatic front woman of It Was Romance—as she is on the page, as both a former writer for The Onion and an award-winning sex and relationships editor for Cosmopolitan. But her story has had its obstacles, including being her own parent, living in her car as a teenager, and moving to New York City to pursue her dreams. Through it all, she looked to movies, TV, and music as the family and support systems she never had. From spending the holidays alone to having better “stranger luck” than with those closest to her to feeling like the last hopeless romantic on earth, Lane reveals her powerful and entertaining journey in all its candor, anxiety, and ultimate acceptance—with humor always her bolstering force and greatest gift. How to Be Alone is a must-read for anyone whose childhood still feels unresolved, who spends more time pretending to have friends online than feeling close to anyone in real life, who tries to have genuine, deep conversations in a roomful of people who would rather you not. Above all, it’s a book for anyone who desperately wants to feel less alone and a little more connected through reading her words.

A powerful, timely memoir of Black immigrant identity, maternal love, and a unique coming-of-age story by Emmy-winning star of The Residence and Orange Is the New Black Uzo Aduba. Actress Uzo Aduba - known for Emmy-winning roles in Orange Is the New Black, Mrs. America and the Netflix hit The Residence - grew up in one of the few Black families in a white Massachusetts suburb. But she and her siblings were also grounded by a fierce sense of belonging and worth that stemmed from their mother's powerful vision for her children, and by their connection to generations of family in Nigeria. The alchemy of being out of place yet driven by fearless conviction powered Uzo to success - and fuels her intimate and inspiring memoir.Deeply mining her family history and the gripping tales handed down to her by her mother, aunts and uncles, Uzo weaves together a moving story filled with guiding lessons that are both personal and profoundly universal. Framed by two powerful turning points - Uzo's mother's illness and her eventual death - The Road Is Good is both a story of a young woman determined to survive early adulthood and create an identity for herself, and a testament to matriarchal power and the guiding light of maternal love.
