8. Fae and Steph have a special relationship. Why do you think Fae took her under her wing? Did you have someone like this in your own childhood? How important is this kind of relationship?
9. Issy and Ben have been friends since childhood, but now their interests and lifestyles are different. Do you think they can have a future together not just as friends, but as a family? Why?
10. Did you have a favorite scene in the book? Who was the most interesting character? Is there someone you really connected to? Loved? Couldn’t stand? Someone you were inclined to make excuses for?
11. Do the Whitakers remind you of your own family even though they might be very different in some ways? Are they people you would like to know or who you would try to avoid?
