Book Club Purgatory

After living in Utah for over a decade, we know a thing or two about Mormonism, and we also know when books represent it poorly. Enter the poorly representative AND poorly written LDS breakout hit, Ariana: The Making of a Queen by Rachel Ann Nunes. Hear about the book that finally made Ella rate something 1 star.

The Girl on The Train by Paula Hawkins, the critically acclaimed bestseller, might not be as good as you think...Join Ella and Nicole--and a special guest--as they review the book, featuring a drinking game with juice.

Scarlett St. Clair's viral book series A Touch of Darkness might be interesting...but is it well-written? This week we talk about all things Hades x Persephone, smut as a genre, and the consequences of idolizing possessiveness in romance.

This week, Nicole read The Tommyknockers by Stephen King, the one he calls his worst novel ever...It's safe to say it was. Listen while we discuss King's fascination with periods, the stories of random townspeople, and why Nicole's husband, Eric, suggested it in the first place. Featuring Nicole's makeup and Guster the dog's headband!

Listen as we discuss Never Lie by Freida McFadden. This popular mystery writer might have interesting ideas, but the execution doesn't always land, especially in the ending of this book.

Nicole read John Grisham's The Widow this week...and hated her. Hear her recap on every bland bit of murder trial, sexism, and unwarranted reveals!

This week, Ella read LA Candy by Lauren Conrad for the first ever episode of LA Candy. Whether you're a fan of reality TV, love to hate the 2000s idea of feminism, or just love a bad book, tune in!
