What a good way to start 2022--a five star read!
I really enjoyed this book. From the impeccable, funny writing, to the plot and the trials and tribulations that the main characters went through. I sort of wished that there was more of the actual podcast in the book, like more scenes of them filming, or the script/dialogue of the podcast (maybe written out like a play?). I liked that we got the emails Lauren was sending, but I feel like it could've elevated the story had an episode or two (or even snippets of them) been added to the book. Overall, that didn't really hurt my enjoyment of the book at all, especially since it wasn't really included in the selling points or synopsis of the book.
I would recommend this to pretty much anyone, but especially womxn/femmes, moms, friends of moms, adult children, etc.
