BRUTALLY Honest Rankings of Our Book Club Picks

About this episode

The hosts celebrate the one-year anniversary of their book club by ranking every book they read this year, sharing brutally honest opinions.

BYO Book Club is officially 1 year old! To celebrate, we ranked every book club pick... and some of these takes toward the end might end friendships! From instant classics to books we wish we could un-read, we're giving our brutally honest rankings with zero mercy for every book we read this year. Which book do you think got robbed, and where did we go right? Join the BYO book club ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠on Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠! Our June 2026 pick is Score by Kennedy Ryan!
