Powerless by Lauren Roberts

from Mean Book Club Hosted by Mean Book Club

This week we have a MASSIVE episode filled with lame powers, daddy issues, and a whole lotta YA yearning. This week we read Powerless by Lauren Roberts and despite it's best efforts, it's not The Hunger Games. 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 Brown Remarkably Bright Creatures by Shelby Van Pelt Sometimes I Lie by Alice Feeney Quicksilver by Callie Hart Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/mean-book-club--3199521/support.
