I never read memoirs; it just isn't my genre. However, I am a huge Buffy fan and decided to give this one a chance. I figured that, at the very least, I would probably get some good Buffy content.

I loved this book so much. Not only did I get to read about Buffy and then be disappointed that I didn't get to go to a Buffy Prom that I had never even known existed before. Seriously, why aren't there any of this stuff out by me? We don't even have a ComicCon here since the pandemic. Have to drive a state away.

Loved when went through minute by minute to convince readers that Fuffy is a real thing. That Faith and Buffy actually had happy fun times.

I can't imagine doing a podcast or sitting down to write a book with my ex-husband, but we didn't exactly part on the best of terms, so . . .
I am so glad that they were able to make it work.

Definitely would recommend watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer before reading this book. Even if you don't read the book, you should watch Buffy.

Thanks to NetGalley for the free kindle book. My review is voluntarily given and my opinions are my own.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC.

So - I gave this four stars because it was well written but overall, that was so so incredibly depressing. I guess part of that’s on me for not knowing what I was stepping into.

I was a fan of the Buffering podcast when it first came out and I remember when Jenny and Kristin announced their divorce and that they’d still be running the podcast together. I felt sad but happy that a) it would continue and b) that they could stay friends through it.

After reading their book though, I sort of wish I hadn’t. I really stripped it all away and I’m not sure I wanted to read about their emotionally draining infertility journey and the implosion of their marriage. I guess I just wanted…Buffy?

Like I said, this is mostly on me. It was a well written book and they did a great job of paralleling their lives with the show, and giving quick explainers for the major show plot points. But overall, I just feel emotionally wrung out

Engaging and entertaining. A recommended purchase for collections where memoirs and nostalgic pop culture titles are popular.
