What a fun night. 

Imagine making up a bunch of characters in your head. Then imagine bringing them to life, giving them faces and personalities and hopes and fears and quirks.

Then imagine sitting with a group of friends who all know these made-up characters, have met each of them, and know their deep dark secrets and who they really are. Imagine getting to spend two hours talking about them like they are real people. I'm SO grateful to my little book club for reading THE FALL OF OUR SECRETS, and so appreciative for the insightful, thoughtful questions and comments.

Some favorite moments and questions of the evening for me:

  • Trying to decide if Nicole's mother is a victim or a cold, selfish part of the problem. Or both.
  • Discussing why it is that Laura lacks the confidence to trust Adam's feelings for her.
  • Why is it that Nicole finds the strength she needs, but James continues to flounder?
  • Whether it made sense that Nicole's father cried in front of her. And why he cried.
  • How the book impacted each reader emotionally (lots of emotional impact!)
  • What was involved in getting the book published, and what's next?
  • And then the fun question: which actors resemble the main characters?

So interesting to learn how each person perceives each of the characters differently. Had lots of fun pulling up photos of actresses and actors on our smart phones, looking for the right fit. 

Overall, tonight was something I went into with some trepidation, but had a great time. I'm so pleased at everything readers are taking from the book, it is definitely a dream come true. Thank you ladies!
