" I'm Glad My Mom Died, by Jennette McCurdy, is an audiobook I'd highly recommend to those looking for a powerful and moving account of how the loss of someone we love can be both devastating and liberating. This audiobook follows Jennette as she struggles to cope with the recent death of her mother, coming to terms with all the emotions that follow such a loss.
This audiobook is incredibly raw and honest, making it quite powerful from start to finish. Jennette details her journey towards acceptance and healing in a way that feels very real and relatable, helping you feel connected to her story. She talks through struggles like the guilt that comes when navigating grief and the difficulty in finding closure after sudden loss, managing to convey these feelings in a way that touches your heart.
The narration is done by Jennette herself, which adds another layer of emotion and immediacy to the book. Her voice captures all of her pain, anger, confusion and eventual hope with such clarity that it's almost like listening to her speak directly with you. It's amazing how much depth she manages to bring out only through just speaking into a mic - she really has outdone herself here.
I'm Glad My Mom Died will leave you feeling inspired by how much strength one person can possess during such difficult times. Not only does this audiobook provide comfort but also serves as an example of resilience when faced with hardship - something we all need more of these days. "
