Notes from Our Readers
Volume 1, Married Men & F**k Boys! hit me like a late-night text from your ex—unexpected, a little toxic, but deeply illuminating. Cali Church’s journey was so real, I kept checking to make sure this wasn’t MY journal. I laughed. I cried. I re-evaluated every situationship I’ve ever been in. And don’t get me started on the glossary—thank you, L.A., for making me feel cultured and called out.

Let’s be honest—any book titled Married Men & F**k Boys! was getting added to cart. But what I didn’t expect was a masterclass in self-worth wrapped in sass, heartbreak, and hilarious one-liners. L.A. Wade doesn’t just tell a story—she holds up a mirror and then hugs you when you start crying.

Volume 2, Friends with Benefits, but Mostly Liabilities, had me shouting “YES, GIRL” every other page. This book broke me down, rebuilt me, and gave me a SWOT analysis for my next Tinder date. Therapy who? I’m bringing L.A. Wade to brunch instead. The way she writes about trauma, friendship, and emotional chaos is nothing short of genius.
