Girl's Girl
Cut along the dashed lines and pass the cards around the table.
Before we talk about the book at all: who was the first girl who felt like your person, and what did she teach you about being a friend?
When you saw the title "Girl's Girl" on the cover, what did you expect the book to be, and did it meet you there or somewhere softer?
Feldman is so good at the small kindnesses between women (the shared snack, the covered-for lie, the ride home). Which small kindness in this book made you feel most looked after, and why?
The book sits with jealousy without punishing anyone for it. How did it feel to read envy written that gently, and did it make you kinder about your own?
Which passage would you have read out loud to a friend in another room, and what about it made you want to hand it over?
"Girl's girl" is a phrase people use like a compliment and sometimes like a test. After reading, what does it mean to you, and do you think you have earned it?
Is there a friendship in your life this book made you want to call, or one it let you finally put down? You do not have to name names.
By the last stretch of the book, did you feel comforted or quietly stung, and what in Feldman's writing put you there? Please stay vague on the specifics so nobody gets spoiled.
