Sorry Mom Book Reviews

Arts EN ↓ 45 episodes

Two sisters review romance books in a unique way: Rachel reads them, and Rebecca interjects with "jokes." We apologize to our mom, but won't be changing our ways. Please take our reviews with a grain of salt, and a dash of pepper. What may not be our cup of tea, may very well be yours! We may have big opinions, but our respect for the authors is bigger. Check out their book pages, which is linked at the end of each episode!

Can Rebecca actually host a show? How does this old book hold up 40...
