TL;DR: Don't bother - hosts are too consumed by their own cleverness to actually hold an interesting discussion about the book at hand. I was excited about this at first - I downloaded the Outlander episode because I love to hate on Outlander and was excited to listen to some like-minded peeps bag on it. However...

Listening to these ladies laugh about ridiculous plot holes, flat characters, and absurd story arcs makes me feel less alone in this world. If you’ve ever sat amongst your friends and wondered, “Am I the only one who thinks that book is just dumb???,” while everyone raves about how great they...Read full review »
