The Office BFFs: Tales of The Office from Two Best Friends Who Were There by Angela Kinsey, Jenna Fischer

funny informative lighthearted reflective fast-paced

3.0

As a former hardcore fan of The Office, it was a nice burst of nostalgia to listen to Jenna Fischer and Angela Kinsey reflect on their time on the show and everything about the experience - and I deeply respect their commitment to milking it for all its worth. In many ways, it is much like every book where an actor talks about their fame-making role; I don't think it's a necessary read or particularly special in that regard. I did think the layer of filtering through their friendship was a unique touch that worked well for them, though. 

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.
