Paige DeSorbo and Hannah Berner’s popular podcast is being turned into a book. The two announced on June 27, 2024 that they wrote a book titled, “How To Giggle: A Guide to Taking Life Less Seriously.”
The book will be released on April 15, 2025.
In a recent interview with The New York Times that was published on April 6, DeSorbo opened up about this upcoming release and even revealed something her publisher, Simon and Schuster, told her to do.
The publishers “insisted that, unlike other reality TV authors, they not use ghost writers so that the book could be authentically in their voices,” the New York Times wrote.
And DeSorbo was very excited about that idea for one specific reason.
“I was like, ‘I can’t wait to tell all of my English teachers from Grade 3 to 12 that they were wrong and I do know punctuation,’” DeSorbo said.

“How to Giggle” is an opportunity for DeSorbo and Berner to “share hilarious and heartwarming advice on how to take life a little bit less seriously,” according to Simon and Schuster.
“Finding joy and laughter in the mundane can be challenging at times, but Hannah Berner and Paige DeSorbo have mastered the art of not taking life too seriously. Brought together under the bright lights of reality television, these best friends bonded in incredibly intense circumstances. They quickly came to realize that one of the bedrocks of their friendship is their shared experience with social anxiety,” Simon and Schuster wrote on their website. “As their friendship deepened, they found themselves constantly devolving into laughter, earning them the nickname “The Giggly Squad,” and with that, their superpower—laughing through life’s hardest moments—was born. Their podcast, Giggly Squad, feels like calling your best friend for a long overdue catch-up. No topic is off limits. No subject too small. And, most importantly, nothing is so serious that you can’t find a way to make it seem less scary by poking fun at it.”
So, who exactly are DeSorbo and Berner targeting with this release?
“It’s for the casual reader,” DeSorbo told The New York Times. “I really pictured the girls like, going on vacation, grabbing this book, throwing it in their bag. Maybe they pick it up on vacation — but maybe they don’t even open it.”
