I have not listened to their podcast before so I was not sure what to expect. It was light hearted and real at the same time. Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for a copy.

This book was funny, serious, real, and so relatable. I want to start their podcast from the beginning, now!

I listen to Jen and Angie’s podcasts daily—I love their humor, their effortless banter, and the way they make even the silliest, most mundane topics wildly entertaining. But what I admire most is their ability to shift gears and speak with such power, clarity, and conviction when addressing serious, critical issues. In my head, they’ve become my honorary aunts. So of course, there was no way I wasn’t going to pick up this book.

I really enjoyed the deeper look into their lives and beginnings. Learning about the moments that solidified their friendship added so much context to the unshakable bond and sisterhood you can feel in every episode. I finished the book feeling like I’d just had a heartfelt, honest conversation with two close friends. The only thing I would've changed was for the stories to be in order of occurrence to make the timelines a bit easier to follow.

When I saw the title I knew I had to listen to this memoir. Who can pass up a book called Life Is A Lazy Susan of Sh*t Sandwiches? Prior to listening to this I was not aware of the “I’ve Had It” Podcast and that means I was also not aware of Jennifer Welch or Angie Sullivan. With that being said, Jennifer and Angie have a new fan in me. I like going into memoirs blind so all I will say is this is heartwarming, honest, real, and funny. This is a must read/listen.

4.5 stars Audiobook
I've never heard of these two podcasters before I picked up this book based on the title alone. How could I not ? These ladies are honest, open and have been through some serious stuff. Their friendship is remarkable and unbreakable. So what is this book about ? Life. Their life, life in general, some politics, some religion (oh they're not afraid to go there) relationships, children, addictions and more. Yes, you've heard all that before, not this way. They are so honest and open about the struggles they've had to live through, it's uplifting. I really like them, would love to sit and have coffee with them. I'm subscribing to their podcast. Read the book

look, I would fucking ride or die for a woman who’s HAD IT, so this was right on brand for me. if you’ve heard their podcast, no surprises here. they’re funny, they’re crass, they have weird midwesternish (is OK midwest??) phrases that can stay where they are BUT, they have also been THROUGH IT. they give their hard-earned wisdom from some really real shit in their lives, their candor is incredible.

I loved them before but I love them even more now! This book was raw, real and very funny! If you can I recommend listening to the audiobook! So good! Thanks NetGallery!

I don't think I was the right audience for this book. I have seen the authors' videos on tik tok and found them funny, however, this book just fell flat for me. Five hours of listening to opinions was unenjoyable. Was a DNF for me and would not recommend.

I could not put this down. If I could give this more than 5 stars, I absolutely would! As a 48-year-old woman who’s worn all the hats: mother, wife, employee, caretaker, fixer, peacemaker, Life is a Lazy Susan of Sh*t Sandwiches spoke to parts of me that I didn’t even realize needed a voice. It’s brutally honest in the best way: no sugarcoating, no fluff, just real life served up on a rotating platter of chaos, expectations, and the occasional moment of peace if you can catch it before it spins away.

This audiobook made me laugh, cry, nod in agreement, and most of all, breathe. There’s something powerful about hearing these words spoken aloud, like a friend who just gets it, validation. It’s a permission slip to drop the performance, own your story, and find beauty in the mess. For any woman who’s ever felt like she’s spinning in a world that expects her to hold it all together without breaking a sweat, this one’s for you.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the opportunity to experience this deeply relatable, empowering listen. I’m so grateful for the ARC and will be recommending it to every woman I know who needs to feel seen.

I enjoyed Jen and Angie on their TV show as well as their podcast. This book was a funny and great read about their origin story. I appreciate their candor and authenticity. Highly recommend for Jen and Pumps fans. I very much enjoyed listening to the authors read the audiobook.

I received an advanced listening copy via NetGalley.

Thank you to Harlequin Audio for the free audiobook.

The title and the blurb referencing readers who enjoyed Not giving a &*ck is what drew me to request this audiobook. Not being a reality housewives show watcher, I was unaware of who the two writers of this book are and less than nothing about their podcast.

Though not funny as I had presumed, save their mission to get a print out of cell phone calls and texts, I definitely feel I know as much about these two women as possible from their sharing the genesis of their friendship and subsequent Bravo show and podcast. They read their own chapters and bring their own vibe to the recording.

Both are strongly opinionated, unapologetically, in all things they are passionate about. Both have lived a life surrounded by addictions, religion, and now politics. They have touched the stars, and have been minor ones themselves, in their reality show.

This memoir would appeal to listeners to their podcast or perhaps those that watched the Bravo show starring both women.

I’ve been a fan of I’ve Had It for years & this was an honest, yet funny insight into Jen & Pumps’ history. This is a great deep dive into some of the serious topics they have talked about but not fully hashed out for us on the pod.

Read by the authors, if you are at all a fan of these two, it is a must-listen as it feels like a longer podcast of them telling us their story!

Probably wouldn’t recommend if you don’t also listen to the pod, but that being said, maybe start listening to the pod?

I was already a fan but didn’t know a lot of their backstory. This was heartfelt and very honest while also being funny and full of their biting whit and sarcasm. I loved that they read their own chapters as that added a nice, personal touch.

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.
