About this audiobook
This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.
"Unshaken: Navigating Jealousy in the Social Media Age" is a compelling narrative set against the backdrop of modern society's obsession with online personas. The story unfolds through the lives of six women, divided into two trios: one of success and privilege, the other of struggle and envy.
**The Successful Trio** comprises Ava, a business owner balancing family and work; Bella, a corporate executive facing peer jealousy; and Clara, living a carefree, luxurious life. Their achievements and lifestyles are a constant source of envy, as depicted on social media. Despite their success, they grapple with the pressures and scrutiny of their online images.
**The Struggling Trio** features Diana, enduring an abusive marriage to a man working for Ava; Eva, whose life is marred by her husband's gambling and infidelity; and Fiona, caught in a cycle of abusive relationships, struggling to provide for her children. These women are consumed by envy and resentment towards the successful trio, fuelled by the idyllic lives they witness on social media.
The novel's narrative arc weaves these contrasting lives into a story of jealousy, perception, and resilience. The successful trio's challenges reveal the imperfections behind their seemingly flawless social media facades. Simultaneously, the struggling trio's journey through envy leads to moments of self-reflection and a harsh confrontation with reality.
As the story progresses, each character faces pivotal moments leading to self-realization. The novel highlights the destructive nature of jealousy and the distorted perceptions driven by social media. It underscores the importance of empathy, understanding, and the strength required to remain "unshaken" in a world where online and offline realities often diverge.
