Ep 57 REACTING to the WORST 1 ⭐️ REVIEWS of our FAVORITE BOOKS!

Besties and the Books Podcast

Send us a text

Today's episode is exactly how it sounds. We read off 1⭐️ reviews of our favorite books, try to get the other person (and you guys!) to guess what it is, then reveal it with its official star rating on Goodreads.

We have everything from SJM and The Empyrean to lesser known books involving vampires, shadow daddies, and robots. Dark romance, fantasy, romantasy, and a little bit of magical realism make this episode a well rounded one. Do you agree or disagree with the assessment? Sometimes what we love about a book makes it a 1 ⭐ read for sobeibe else. It’s all in good fun! That’s what makes reading so amazing.

We’ve also got a faves and fails of the week involving a popular author book signing, and the crispiest Diet Coke of Liz’s life, mixed in with Chipotle gone wrong and a mean case of the Sunday scaries. And a smash or pass involving two hot… aliens? Strangely enough.
