Sarah, Johnna, Clara & Sabrina rip apart this week's NYT bestseller: Confessions of a Shopaholic. Published in 2000, this book has sold three million copies and been translated into 30 languages. In 2009 it was made into a movie starring Isla Fisher. We dive in and attempt to figure out **why**.

Mean Book Club is four ladies (from UCB-NY, 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 Tuesday!
