#BookSparksBookClub: Live Chat with Michele Campbell

WHAT: You’re invited! @BookSparks is hosting a Twitter live chat with Michele Campbell.

WHERE: Follow @MCampbellBooks and @BookSparks on Twitter and the hashtag #IATHchat.

WHEN: Tuesday May 30th at 5 p.m. PST/8 p.m. EST

Participate in the live chat with #IATHchat for a chance to win one of Michele’s book club kits – complete with a bottle of wine, crackers, and a It’s Always The Husband tote!

If you need discussion questions for your book club, here are some to get you started (spoiler alert):

  1. What is it about the college setting that allows three girls as different as Kate, Jenny and Aubrey to bond?  What attracts them to one another?  What repels them?  If nothing terrible had happened at the end of freshman year, do you think their friendship would have had a future, or would they have gone their separate ways?
  2. Kate, Jenny and Aubrey come from very different backgrounds.  How is each character shaped by her upbringing and family circumstances?  Can the characters’ flaws be explained by their difficult childhoods or their complicated relationships with their parents – or is this just an excuse for bad behavior?
  3. Kate is at the center of two love triangles that shape the book.  She gets involved with Lucas despite knowing he was Jenny’s high school boyfriend, and she has an affair with Ethan, who is Aubrey’s husband.  What forces compel Kate to behave so badly?  Is she simply pursuing these men in order to take them away from her best friends, or do you believe her feelings for them?  How does the sense of betrayal Jenny and Aubrey feel when Kate steals their men influence their actions toward her?
