In a Holidaze

If you could be snowed in for a week at any one place from your own life, where would it be, and who would have to be there?

What was the first moment in this book where you felt yourself relax into it, like settling into a warm room?

The Hollis cabin is a place where traditions get repeated every year on purpose. Which of your own repeated traditions comforts you most, even the slightly silly ones?

Mae is surrounded by people who are family without being related to her. When has a group like that held you up, and what did it feel like to be let in?

This book treats a wish for happiness as a real and reasonable thing to ask for. If you got to make that wish out loud tonight, what would you actually be asking for?

So much of the warmth here comes from small sensory things: snow outside, a crowded kitchen, old pajamas. Which of those details stayed with you after you closed the book?

Getting to live the same days again means getting to be braver in them. Was there a stretch of your own life you would happily walk back through, not to fix it, but just to say the thing you did not say?

By the last pages, Mae has changed how she treats her own wanting. Without giving anything away, did the book leave you feeling more hopeful about asking for what you want, or more tender about how hard that is?
