a lot slower than i was expecting, i'd imagined the movie had omitted a lot especially because of vague things my ma told me, but i didn't realize there'd be THIS much. the comparative slowness was a bit frustrating at first but now i've grown to appreciate it and how much extra it really does add

I hear over my shoulder a booming voice that sounds familiar. I turn and see Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. He looks so nice and Dwayne Johnson-like with his big smile. The man oozes charisma. I think about going up to him and introducing myself, reminding him of that awards show years ago. Could Dwayne Johnson tell how miserable I was last time we met? Would he sense a difference now? Does he understand all the obstacles and accomplishments that this cookie represents? Is Dwayne Johnson God? I'm trying to think of something funny or witty or charming to say, but I can't. My mind freezes in social settings, especially if those settings include The Rock/God. I miss my chance. He wanders off into the crowd. I go back to eating my cookie. Enjoying my cookie.
— I'm Glad My Mom Died by Jennette McCurdy (Page 299)
though there's that "impressively funny" quote slapped on the cover, i think any attempts at humor have whizzed right over my head because of how horrified i've been while reading the book so far, because pretty much nothing has made me laugh or occurred to me as funny. not until this "is dwayne johnson god?" line, that's the first laugh that's been coaxed outta me!
i'm very glad i didn't opt to listen to the audiobook narrated by jennette, because i think actually HEARING her talk about a lot of this would've just driven me insane, i do not think i could handle it
