Meet your host

Jen Kaarlo Mendenhall

Writer, cultural storyteller, and longtime Rebel Book Club member, Jen explores ideas through the lenses of solo travel, reinvention after 40, and modern dating. Having lived in New York, London, and now Denver, she is passionate about creating welcoming spaces where curious minds connect over delicious books, discover new perspectives, and engage in conversations that linger long after the final page.

Biggest RBC impact: "One Rebel Book Club evening that has stayed with me all these years was a conversation with award-winning journalist Isobel Yeung, then at VICE, around In Extremis: The Life of War Correspondent Marie Colvin. I was admittedly a little starstruck, but even more moved by how she used her voice to bring important stories to light, stories that truly deserved to be seen. The room was filled with curious minds, giving the discussion an electric energy that perfectly captured what Rebel Book Club does so well: bringing thoughtful people together to listen, reflect, and see the world a little differently."

Top non-fiction book recommendations:
1. Attached: The New Science of Adult Attachment, by Amir Levine and Rachel Heller
2. When the Going Was Good: An Editor's Adventures During the Last Golden Age of Magazines, by Graydon Carter
3. The Riviera Set: Glitz, Glamour, and the Hidden World of High Society, Mary S. Lovell
