Our Perfect Storm
Cut along the dashed lines and pass the cards around the table.
Frankie keeps the honeymoon even after her plans fall apart. Have you ever gone ahead with a trip or plan that changed shape, and what did it give you instead?
If your plans fell through tomorrow, which childhood friend would you call to come away with you, and what would they bring along?
What moments in the book felt like a warm hug to you, the small kindnesses or familiar comforts that made you feel safe as a reader?
Frankie and George share years of history. What did their friendship remind you of from your own life, and did it make you miss or want to call anyone?
The book lets its characters be heartbroken without rushing them. How did it feel to sit with Frankie in her hard moments, and where did you feel most tender toward her?
The title is about a storm. When has a messy, unexpected moment in your own life turned out to bring something good?
By the last page, how did you feel about how Frankie's heart changed, and did the book leave you hopeful, wistful, or something else? (Please share how it felt, not what happened.)
Friends-to-lovers stories ask whether the person who knows us best can also be the one who surprises us. How did this book make you feel about that question, and did it change how you look at any of your own close relationships?
