Hello MBCers!! We are thrilled to be back for season 15!!!

This week we read Divergent by Veronica Roth! It's a dystopian YA novel set in the WINDY CITY, but not the Windy City that you know and love. A different one. A worse one. And! We! Hated it!

If you're tuning in for the first time, 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 (almost) every Tuesday!

Here’s the Season 15 reading list:

• Divergent by Veronica Roth
• The Silent Patient by Alex Michaelides
• An Absolutely Remarkable Thing by Hank Green
• Wrong Place Wrong Time by Gillian McAllister
• One Day in December by Josie Silver
• Lessons in Chemistry by Bonnie Garmus
• November 9th by Colleen Hoover
• Hotel New Hampshire by John Irving

(Also, please accept our sincerest apologizes for the late upload today, we had some audio issues with this episode but got it into the best shape that we could for you!)

Uh, count us in!
