An incomprehensible world of magic, a blinding romance fraught with peril, and a bunch of filler in between: This week we read the fan-fic turned book: Rose in Chains by Julie Soto, and spoiler alert, Sarah loved it.

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 21 reading list:

Rose in Chains by Julie Soto
Heated Rivalry by Rachel Reid
Ninth House by Leigh Bardugo
Powerless by Lauren Roberts
The Secret of Secrets by Dan Bwon
Remarkably Bright Creatures by Shelby Van Pelt
Sometimes I Lie by Alice Feeney
Quicksilver by Callie Hart
