Evvie Drake Starts Over
Cut along the dashed lines and pass the cards around the table.
What was the first scene or moment that made you settle in and feel at home in this book?
If Evvie's kitchen table could talk, what kind of conversations do you imagine it would remember? Did any of yours come to mind?
The book is full of small daily comforts (coffee, porches, walks into town). Which little detail did you most want to bring into your own life?
Evvie and Dean both carry quiet versions of being 'stuck.' Did the way the story sat with that feeling comfort you, or stir something up?
Friendship (especially Andy and Evvie) is the warm undercurrent of the book. Who in your life would you want as your 'Andy,' and why?
The Maine setting feels almost like a character. How did the town's mood shape the way you read the story, and where would you want to curl up there?
Grief in this book is complicated and rarely tidy. Was there a moment that captured something about loss or moving forward that felt true to you?
Without giving anything away, how did the book leave you feeling as you closed it, and did any part of it gently nudge you to start something over in your own life?
