Waddup, book nerds! In this episode, our special guest and viral superstar Alexis Pereira (UCB) reads American Dirt by Jeanine Cummins with us! This NYT bestseller rocketed to No. 1 on the NYT bestseller list after Oprah announced she had selected it for her book club in January 2020. And YET it’s gotten so much criticism Cummins had to cancel her book tour! What happened? Why? We break it apart to find out.

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 book list for Season 7 so you can read along:

* The Christmas Train by David Baldacci
* Valley of the Dolls by Jacqueline Susann
* American Dirt by Jeanine Cummins
* Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov
* Naughty Neighbor by Janet Ivanovich
* Women Who Work by Ivanka Trump
* Naked Came the Stranger by Penelope Ashe
* Artemis Fowl by Eoin Colfer
