The Hardest Ones to Fool
Cut along the dashed lines and pass the cards around the table.
Amelia has a different name for each person in her life. Did you ever have a nickname that only certain people used, and how did it feel to be called it?
If you could spend a slow afternoon in Amelia's beachside city, where would you curl up: a boardwalk bench, a quiet cafe, or the sand at sunset?
Amelia is someone slightly different with each boyfriend. Is there a version of you that only comes out around certain people, and which one feels most like home?
How did it feel to root for someone who lies so easily? Did you catch yourself softening toward Amelia, and when did that start?
Amelia and Jackie are rivals before they're anything else. Have you had someone who started as competition and ended up mattering to you? What changed it?
Grief sits under this whole mystery. Did any moment of Amelia missing her best friend stay with you or bring someone you've lost to mind?
By the end, which of Amelia's many selves did you most want her to keep, and which did you feel relieved to see her let go?
The book asks what it costs to be truly known. Thinking about how things unfold, did it leave you feeling hopeful, tender, or unsettled about honesty in your own closest friendships?
