It covered things from female friendships and motherhood to the realities of working on a television show, I really enjoyed it. I also listen to the podcast and a lot of what is in here is what is shared in the podcast as well, but I think they make good companions and it’s still worth reading for the snippets they haven’t shared and the photos. It’s told in a similar way the podcast is structured, as well, which is neat.
It’s also just a nice comfort read in a similar way that the TV show was/is for me. Pam was my personal favourite character from The Office and it’s really cool that the actress who played her now goes into so much detail about Pam!

Also, it's always a little annoying to listen to successful cis women discuss their relationships with other successful cis women in the most shallow vaguely-feminist terms ever. Obviously it's preferable to women bashing each other, but the idea that women support each other and stick together on the basis of just being women is so laughably untrue, and it feels fake and plasticky every time I hear it. Fischer and Kinsey made comments in this vein a lot, but they're by no means the only famous female authors to do this shtick.

-The car accident is in the context of a crazy scene they were filming, not really a real-world car accident.amandas_bookshelf's review against another edition
