So glad I requested this book. This just felt like it spoke to my personality. It was just a fun time, and so relatable. I have already recommended this book to several friends who jumped on it immediately. I will probably reread certain parts in the coming weeks.

Kudos to Jennifer and Angie for narrating their book...they are fabulous and absolutely fearless for taking this on. I will be jumping on the podcast immediately.

Thank you to Harlequin Audio and everyone at The Hive for allowing me to listen to and review this book. This is genuinely a good time.

This was a surprise for me. The title pulled me in, as it would, but I didn't know anything about the authors. Turns out I am in the dark, as they are pretty famous. This was heartfelt and honest. I love that they narrated it themselves. Extra layer of awesome.

First and foremost, thank you to the publisher and the author for an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review. I loved this story and it was definitely worth the read!

I went into this audiobook completely unfamiliar with the authors' podcast, but their story immediately drew me in. As an elder millennial from Kansas, I found myself relating to their backgrounds growing up in Oklahoma and their journeys through adulthood. The dynamic between the two hosts, one more conservative and the other more progressive, was particularly compelling, especially as they described how their friendship helped shift perspectives and challenge long-held beliefs.

The book offers a raw, honest look at their experiences with addiction, both personally and through their relationships, the realities of parenting, and the behind-the-scenes chaos of running a podcast and live shows. Their humor and vulnerability make heavy topics feel approachable, and I came away feeling like I'd gained new friends rather than just listening to a memoir. By the end, I was genuinely curious about their podcast and eager to hear more from them.

I'd rate this 4/5 stars. It's a great listen for any woman navigating the messy, complicated parts of life who wants to feel a little less alone. Thanks to NetGalley and Harlequin Audio for the ALC.

this was a very fun read! i was fully interested because of the title - never heard the podcast before. so it is definitely a book that anyone can pick up. Jennifer & Angie do a good job of giving their stories and explaining background that long time fans may know already without it alienating somebody (like me) who just picked it up. automatic 5 star rating because it’s non fiction - which i usually do not rate.

Thanks to NetGalley for the arc audiobook of this title.

I have never listened to their podcast and had never heard of Welch and Sullivan or their show. The title and cover alone drew me in. Both women narrate with so much honesty and sass. It is so refreshing to read a book written by such strong and vulnerable women. I will definitely follow their podcast!

Thank you to NetGalley, the publisher and the author for an advanced copy of this delightful audio!

J Dub and Pumps are a breath of fresh air! I’m so glad they decided to narrate their book. My only complaint is I wish it were longer.

If you listen to their podcasts, pick this book up. It gives great in-site to their struggles. Pumps shows that people can change!

Go Democracy, Go.

Life Is a Lazy Susan of Sht Sandwiches* is exactly what I hoped for—raw, hilarious, and full of heart, just like Jennifer Welch and Angie “Pumps” Sullivan’s podcast I’ve Had It. In this book, they open up about everything from addiction and divorce to fame and self-worth, and somehow manage to make even the darkest moments feel like a shared joke between best friends. Listening to the audiobook was like sitting in a room with them, laughing until I cried and feeling like part of their wild, supportive, no-BS friendship

Definitely will be enjoyed by fans of their podcast. The fact that the authors narrate is a big plus.
