  5. Why do you think Julie felt more comfortable going to Edward with her dating issues and other problems than to her biological father, Bruce Silver?

  6. Do you think Laurel’s mental state excuses her for the way she treated Edward at the end of their first love affair, and for her unsettling persistence when she comes back into his life? Does Laurel deserve Edward’s keeping her at arm’s length?

  7. Were you surprised that Edward was finally able to fall in love again, and with whom? Who were you rooting for?

  8. When Edward goes to the different members of his family with the news that he’s fallen in love, their reactions are not what he expects. Why do you think that is?

  9. Is there anyone in your life with whom you would have liked to set Edward up?

  10. How would you feel if someone put up a personal ad for you, as Edward’s stepchildren did for him?
