This NYT bestseller was recommended by TWO fans: Barbie Steele and Gillian Tobin. They told us The Silent Patient was a snooze and was written by a failed screenwriter. How could we resist?

We are joined by author Jason Yamas (Tweakerworld) who assured us that although this book wasn’t literature, it was certainly “literary.”

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 every other Tuesday!
