“The descriptions of what the author suffered through as a child stayed with me after finishing the book. A good reminder that we really don't know what goes on in someone's life behind their outward appearance.”

“The word 'Amazing' doesn't begin to describe this book. Carrie Soto is a tennis phenom called 'the next Billie Jean King' by reporters in the 1970's and Taylor Jenkins Reid takes you into the life of a competitive tennis player at the highest levels. You crawl inside her head and see the desire to be the BEST and win at any costs - even if it means sacrificing relationships to do so. This audiobook is amazing because not only does Stacy Gonzalez do a brilliant job, but because Mary Carillo, Patrick McEnroe and more lend their voices to the story - so you get the feeling that you're listening to actual segments on ESPN. You quickly forget that you're listening to fiction and you feel like you're getting the autobiography of a female tennis player - complete with men who make comments about how women's tennis is 'not as difficult as the men's game.' I loved every minute of this audiobook and I already know it's going to be on my Books of the Year list for 2022. ”

“I really enjoyed this book! It's the story of a young woman who has grown up in the heroin capital of Australia. On her journey to solve the mystery of her younger brother's death, she navigates deep-rooted issues with her relationships with her Vietnamese-Australian parents, her best friend, and herself. Also, there is one chapter from the perspective of a 10-year-old girl that is laugh-out-loud funny (especially when you listen to it on Libro.fm)!”

“A light and comedic police procedural mystery with a psychic travel agent as the sidekick sounds weird, but is just quirky enough to work. Leda is a fun main character, even if we have to question her small business choice in today’s world. And if the main storyline wasn’t quirky enough already, we also get to enjoy her channeling her psychic abilities through singing karaoke to answer the unspoken questions of patrons at her favorite local dive bar. Speaking of which, her friendship circle is delightful, and although it primarily focused on her bestie Niki, I loved the little bits we got of the whole bar crew. Priest also did a good job in developing the working relationship between Leda and Detective Grady Merritt. Seattle made the perfect backdrop and became a character itself. I love feeling dropped right into the setting. Checking the boxes for cozy, entertaining and easy to read (or listen to!), I will definitely be on the lookout for the next one.”

“The audiobook is narrated by Jennette, which I think made the experience of reading this even more special. I went through just about every emotion while reading this book. Jennette goes into great detail on her experience as a child actor…and based on the title of this book, I think you can guess how that experience was. This gripping, shocking, emotional memoir will surely keep you on the edge of your seat. I’m Glad My Mom Died is a 2022 must read.

“Loved this one, especially on audio. The narration was excellent, and laugh out loud funny. Perfect blend of contemporary fiction, intrigue, romance, Puerto Rican culture, and the impact of Hurricane Maria. ”
