Show Notes
Our OG recommender Allesandra told us about Eleanor Oliphant so we knew we had to give it a read! The thing is.... Johnna, a host of this cast, ALSO told the other ladies about Eleanor Oliphant. Like 8 times. Actually she's been begging them to read it for years because it's one of her favorite reads! The MBC ladies are a HOUSE DIVIDED between love, and hate, and more hate this episode!
Mean Book Club is four ladies (UCB, BuzzFeed, College Humor, Impractical Jokers) who read, discuss and whine about NYT bestselling books that have questionable literary merit. It's fun. It's cathartic. It's perfect for your commute. New podcast every other Tuesday! Here’s the Season 17 reading list: Happy Place by Emily Henry Divine Rivals by Rebecca Ross Just the Nicest Couple by Mary Kubica The Paper Palace by Miranda Cowley Heller A Man Called Ove by Fredrik Backman The Bodyguard by Katherine Center Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine by Gail Honeyman Dichotomy of Leadership by Jocko Willink and Leif Babin
