Receptionist Pam Beesly and accountant Angela Martin had very little in common when they toiled together at Scranton’s Dunder Mifflin Paper Company.

APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Pam and Angela might not have been besties on The Office, but actresses Jenna Fischer and Angela Kinsey sure are. The sitcom stars—hosts of the Office Ladies podcast—pour their memories of on-set fun and camaraderie into their delightful joint memoir. The stories are fascinating for Office fans for sure, but the depth of their friendship is so endearing that even newcomers will be charmed. Seriously, how many people would organize an after-Halloween trick or treat for their pal who had to work on the holiday? The fun that Fischer and Kinsey are having together makes The Office BFFs pure joy.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Fischer and Kinsey, costars of The Office and cohosts of the Office Ladies podcast, celebrate the show's nine seasons and their 18-year friendship in this highly entertaining work, a "scrapbook, a BFF journal, and a love letter to fans." Alongside a bounty of behind-the-scenes photos, Fischer and Kinsey opine about the cast's unique bond ("When you watch The Office, you are watching a group of people who are having fun and becoming good friends"); credit producer Greg Daniels for allowing the cast the freedom to create their characters' histories—including Fischer's backstory for Pam's prolonged engagement to her first fiancé Roy, who "spent their wedding money on a pair of Jet Skis with his brother"; and offer the delicious scoop on "Jam" ("Jim + Pam = JAM"): "From the moment we met," Fischer recalls of her first read with costar John Krasinksi, "we shared the JAM brain." From fleshing out the story of Angela's cat, Sprinkles, to sharing humorous stories of their real and fake pregnancies and mutual admiration for Steve Carell, "the nicest man in show business," Fischer and Kinsey leave no crumb of Dunder Mifflin lore uncovered in typical Office fashion: "We worked hard on it," they write. "That's what she said." This is a must-read for fans.
