The silly host, Leslie, will take you on a literary adventure where the books are as unpredictable as the conversation! In each episode, Leslie will force herself to read a random book - from classics to quirky hidden gems - and dive into its pages, sharing her thoughts and reflections. But the fun doesn't stop there! Leslie is accompanied by her ride or die b***ches, who'll react to the content and offer their own insights
