MBCer Suzanne told us to use our scientific method on Lessons in Chemistry by Bonnie Garmus, a book which as of now has spent 38 weeks on the NYTs bestseller list. It looked like a romcom, it smelled like a romcom, and, dear listeners, spoiler alert, it WAS NOT a romcom!
We are joined by photographer and occasional bad book reader Beckie Hawkins (@woodfieldphotography on Insta) who luckliy keeps us on track and provides the only valuable insights this entire episode.

Mean Booker @unredactedani told us to read this Reese Witherspoon pick because she “can’t recommend the book to anyone IRL for reasons that will become obvious if you consider it for your podcast.” Ohhhhh, mysterious. We had to know more.

Mean Booker Michelle B told us to read the NYT bestseller because “the premise sounds enticing… this totally goes off the rails and was a complete disappointment.” Wrong Place Wrong Time (a misleading title), spent 5 weeks on the bestseller list and was a Reese Witherspoon club pick in 2022. It's got time travel, a murderous nerd son, and mom guilt. So if it sucks, how did it get so popular??

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?
