They take a deep dive into work-life prior to working from home (and the jobs they had in high school), their favorite apps and tricks for planning the day, how they rely on others for help, and so much more! And as always, those reader questions have the Besties thinking all about the most random things like Starbucks orders, baby names, and favorite fast food favs!

Solo las grandes fortunas se pueden permitir una casa aquí y hay pocas fortunas mayores que la de Fred y Sheila Merton. Pero todo el dinero del mundo no puede protegerlos cuando la muerte llama a su puerta. Los Merton han aparecido brutalmente asesinados tras una tensa cena con sus tres hijos. Quienes, por supuesto, están devastados.¿O quizá no? A cada uno de ellos le espera ahora una herencia de millones de dólares. Nunca fueron una familia feliz por culpa de un padre vengativo y una madre distante, pero quizá uno de los hermanos es más inestable de lo que nadie imaginaba. ¿Puede que alguno reaccionara con violencia después de esa espantosa cena? ¿O fue otra persona quien apareció en la casa esa noche con la peor de las intenciones? Después de todo, si alguien de tu familia fuera capaz de una atrocidad así, lo sabrías. ¿Verdad? #penguinaudio #audiolibro #audiolibros #Shari #Lapena #ShariLapena See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
