Fan Alessandra Rosso needed us to confirm whether this NYT bestseller was actually trash because the main character “could have been replaced by a potted plant and I am not sure it would have changed the story.” And it’s a short book? About BROOKLYN (where we all live/have lived)?? Consider it read.

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!

1. Red, White & Royal Blue by Casey McQuiston
2. The Book Woman of Troublesome Creek by Kim Michele Richardson
3. Romantic Comedy by Curtis Sittenfeld
4. Run Rose Run by James Patterson and Dolly Parton
5. Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Sex by David Reuben
6. The House in the Cerulean Sea by TJ Klune
