Absolutely loving this as an avid office fan!
Absolutely love The Office Ladies podcast and I am a huge Office US fan so I had to support these ladies and buy their book. Thoroughly enjoying it so far! Loving all the bonus photos and how it’s broken down and easy to read. Lots of great stories included! :)

Book was dirty
Very disappointing

Book is great but Amazon packing isnt
The book was amazing but packaging by Amazon was terrible. It came in one thin cover and the edges were blunted and dirty which sucks because it's a white book. Amazon really has to improve pacakaging for all its products

Must have for any The Office fan
I'm a big fan of The Office, and The Office Ladies podcast so I had to pick this up. I love that there are so many behind the scenes photographs that are a lot of fun to look at. Jenna and Angela are hilarious so it's a lot of fun reading their experience on the show. The paper quality is top notch too. Only downside is that it was shipped in a small box with no padding or bubblewrap so the corners are crunched and the front cover has scratches all over it. That's Amazons problem and doesn't affect 5 stars this book deserves

This is not a drill, fellow Dunder Mifflinites!
Having binged all nine seasons countless times, I can confidently say Jenna Fischer's Pam Beesly was pure gold. Her acting and everything she's done since, from movies to the Office Ladies podcast, is golden! (Speaking of gold, did you see her husband's indie film, "The Giant Mechanical Man"? Masterpiece!) Well, get this: BFF Angela Kinsey (aka Angela Martin) teamed up with Jenna for a book, and let me tell you, it's like scoring a Dundie for Most Awesome Read! "The Office BFFs" is the ultimate Scranton Strangler of nostalgia. It's more than a behind-the-scenes peek; it's a love letter to the show, the creators, the cast, and most importantly, the epic Pam and Angela friendship (which, let's be real, rivals Jim and Pam's any day). What makes this book special is the genuine warmth between Jenna and Angela. They write like they're gossiping at Chili's (minus the fire), and their passion for The Office is contagious. One minute you'll be snorting milk through your nose at a hilarious blooper story, the next you'll be misty-eyed over a sweet anecdote. This book is a treasure trove for any Office fanatic. It spills the tea on hilarious on-set mishaps, dives deep into iconic episodes, and gives us a glimpse into the magic of creating a legendary sitcom. We get the scoop on how Pam and Angela evolved, behind-the-scenes improv moments, and the real-life friendships between the cast. But it's not just about work! Jenna and Angela open up about their pre-Dunder Mifflin days, the Hollywood hustle, and how their on-screen bond blossomed into a beautiful real-life friendship. It's a heartwarming reminder that even amidst paper company shenanigans, true connections can form. For the audiobook fans (because who wouldn't want Jenna and Angela narrating your commute?), it's even better! They bring their A-game, and surprise guest appearances from other Office cast members make it an immersive experience. "The Office BFFs" is the ultimate Dunder Mifflin swag for any fan. It's a hilarious, heartwarming, and nostalgic trip down memory lane. Whether you're a casual Scrantonite or a hardcore Dundie winner, this book will have you saying "That's what she said" to putting it down. Highly recommend! Please kindly note: I write these reviews for my personal enjoyment. From time to time, I may give my opinion on a product or service. It is just my opinion, I'm not an expert in the field and other people's opinions may differ (I can't help it if they are wrong, ha ha).
