Editor's Review ★★★★★

AudioBook Atlas

I devoured Jenny and the Jaws of Life in one sitting, laughing out loud at Willett’s razor-sharp wit and heartbreakingly relatable moments. The audiobook’s narration is a standout—Hillary Huber’s deadpan delivery for Jenny’s stories is perfection, while Jonathan Davis and Sarah Naughton bring depth to the more emotional tales. The pacing is tight, with each story feeling like a well-crafted punchline. The only critique? A couple of the later stories drag slightly, but the overall execution is so strong that it’s easy to forgive. If you enjoy stories that balance humor with raw honesty, this is a must-listen.
