Four Stars and Up
by 4 stars and up pod
Good books, good friends, honest opinions. 4 Stars and Up is three friends reading only the books rated 4★+ on Goodreads — so every pick is pre-vetted. Each episode, we read a book rated four stars or higher on Goodreads, rate it ourselves, and see if it lives up to the hype — then share the random four-star things we're obsessed with off the page. Part book club, part hangout.

Episode 1: Dolly All the Time
Episode 1: Dolly All the Time (Four Stars and Up Podcast)In the first episode of the Four Stars and Up Podcast, friends Jen, Shelly, and Ashley introduce their show concept: only reading books rated 4 stars and up on Goodreads (at selection time), plus their reading habits and genres. They discuss Dolly All the Time by Annabelle Monaghan (4.3 stars on Goodreads), summarized as a fake-dating romance between 39-year-old single mom Dolly Brick and wealthy CEO Stuart Whitfield, involving a $60,000 deal, a gala fallout, time apart, Dolly rebuilding her life into a bakery, and Stuart returning committed to her and her son. All three hosts rate it under 4 stars (about 3.2–3.7), citing predictability, low stakes, and underdeveloped family/plot, while praising humor, Naomi, and some realistic moments. They answer prompt questions (casting Dolly/Stuart, birth order, and “ick” moments like not knowing basic skills), share other book recs, and close with non-book 4-star picks.Follow us on Instagram @4starsanduppod
