The Office BFFs: Tales of The Office from Two Best Friends Who Were There by Jenna Fischer and Angela Kinsey

 The Office BFFs: Tales of The Office from Two Best Friends Who Were There by Jenna Fischer and Angela Kinsey-321 pages

I really enjoyed reading this. I was a huge fan of The Office (and I still am). It's really cool that Angela and Jenna are best friends in real life and started their friendship on set while filming the first season of The Office. It's fun to learn some behind the scenes facts and stories. It seems like genuine friendships were made while filming the show and the crew sincerely got along well. The authors share that it was a very collaborative work environment on set and that the actors had some say in the direction of their characters. This is very rare in film and tv, which the authors mention. It's also cool that Jenna grew up in St. Louis and studied theater at Truman State University before moving to Los Angeles to pursue acting. I've enjoyed reading stories about happenings on set and behind the scenes. The cast celebrated holidays together in real life in addition to on set. The authors share tips on attending awards shows and share encounters with other celebrities (like meeting Meryl Streep at an awards show and Angela being photographed with Billie Eilish, who is a big fan of The Office, at an airport). Also, Jenna shares some stories and favorite moments from the onscreen relationship between her character and John Krasinki's character, Jim. She titles this chapter "Jam" (Jim plus Pam). I especially enjoyed reading what she writes about the Casino Night episode and the kiss between Jim and Pam. I also enjoyed reading about their filming for the wedding scene at Niagara Falls. Angela writes a chapter about Dwangela (Dwight and Angela). They share a story about an episode during the final season when they have to ride a bus to film the episode and almost die of accidental poisoning. Their chapter on the series finale episode is really good. They share thoughts on different moments from filming the finale and watching the finale months later. The final chapter is about them starting the podcast Office Ladies and how it came about. I would recommend this to anyone who was/is a fan of The Office. I really enjoyed reading it.
