"<p>Josh Peck is happy for Jeanette McCurdy, a former Nickelodeon alumna who wrote the book \"I'm Glad My Mom Died.\"</p> <p>The \"Drake &amp; Josh\" star recently told Page Six in an exclusive, \"I believe she is really courageous to describe her experience and to be as truthful as she is. Last week, Peck shared a cute Instagram photo of himself cuddling up to McCurdy with the comment, \"My friend Jennette authored a book, and it's out today.</p> <p>\"I believe her wit and thoughtfulness are two of her greatest abilities, and as soon as I was able to read the book, I did since I really wanted to see how she recounted her narrative,\" the reviewer said.</p> <p>The \"iCarly\" star's newly published memoir explores the complex connection she had with her mom, who regulated her every step and made her daughter become a child star, as its headline indicates. The \"Sam &amp; Cat\" actor McCurdy's mother passed away from cancer in 2013 when he was only 21.</p> <p>Last week, Peck shared a cute Instagram photo of himself cuddling up to McCurdy with the comment, \"My friend Jennette authored a book, and it's out today.</p> <p>Few people can match her bravery, humor, and thoughtfulness. Order it now! The 35-year-old actor is now starring in the musical film \"13: The Musical\" as a Rabbi who helps a youngster during his bar-mitzvah. A popular Broadway production was adapted for the musical, which also features Debra Messing and Rhea Perlman.</p> <p>Peck's own bar-mitzvah was appropriate for a person who began doing stand-up at the age of 10 at Caroline's on Broadway.</p> <p>I guess it's no surprise that I'm still in rehab today, he added with a chuckle. \"My bar-mitzvah required me to perform for no less than 45 minutes doing a combination of songs, a duet with my mom, and stand-up humor.</p>"
