- My Go-To
Became immediately obsessed once I discovered these 3. Friends podcasting together who can laugh and joke but also disagree and respect one another’s opinions is so refreshing. They make me laugh and feel so invited into the conversation and are the WORST for my tbr! I appreciate it Ladies

Apple Podcasts5juliagreeneUnited States2 years ago - Too much of the same.
I did enjoy this podcast for a while but got sick of their inside jokes and screaming into the microphone. Friends that have the same book opinions and no variety. Entitled who don’t even read books just listen to audiobooks 90% of the time.
