Cut along the dashed lines and pass the cards around the table.
Where did you end up doing most of your reading, and did you have a snack or drink that became 'the book's drink' for you?
Hannah is a woodturner who finds calm in working with her hands. What hobby or small ritual comforts you the way her workshop comforts her?
The story is set on a houseboat in Sausalito. How did that floating, slightly off-the-grid setting make you feel as a reader, and would you ever want to live somewhere like that?
Hannah and Bailey slowly soften toward each other. Was there a small moment between them that warmed your heart or reminded you of someone in your own life?
The book is full of quiet acts of caring (making food, showing up, sitting in silence). Which gesture in the book felt like the most loving to you?

The novel asks what it means to truly know someone. Without spoiling anything, how did the story shift the way you think about the secrets people keep to protect the people they love?
By the end, Hannah has to redefine what 'family' and 'home' mean to her. What did the book stir up in you about the families we are given versus the ones we choose?
