A good book club isn’t about “liking” the book. It’s about noticing what moved you, what annoyed you, and what you’d argue about for five minutes without getting mad.
The prompts
- What moment felt most “true”? Why did it land for you?
- What did the author leave unsaid? What do you think that silence means?
- Who changed the most? Was it earned?
- What would you cut? And what would you expand?
- What did you disagree with? (A character, decision, or worldview.)
- What theme kept repeating? Where did you see it?
- What would a sequel explore?
- Which character would you be friends with? Who would you avoid?
- What quote stuck with you? Read it out loud.
- If you had to recommend this to one person… who and why?
