The title of I'm Glad My Mom Died made me hesitate to read the book. I didn't want to read a book about a character who was glad their mother had passed away. I'm pleased I gave it a shot, though.
The protagonist of the book is Jeanette, a woman who struggles with her mother. Jeanette has always felt like she fell short of her mother's expectations due to her mother's verbal and emotional abuse. When Jeanette's mother passes away, she initially feels relieved. She believes that she can now finally be independent of her mother.
Jeanette discovers that she is still grieving for the mother she never had as she starts to explore her grief. She begins to consider how her life may have turned out.

Although difficult to read, this work is nonetheless potent and significant.
I would suggest it to anyone who is having a hard time accepting the loss of a loved one, especially if there was a tense dynamic between you and the deceased. The book was interesting and well-written, in my opinion. Shriver makes a wonderful job of developing likable characters and accurately expressing the severity of grief's emotions.
