The Bookstore Girls Podcast Book Club discussion

Both the synopsis and the first chapter “spoil” the story with the fact that Mallory is dying. And that her and Jake never truly got together (other than the one-weekend-per-year affair). Did you like that?

We follow Ursula’s career trajectory pretty closely. Were you engaged with her storyline or did you not really care for her? Did she truly love Jake? What did you think about the addition of all the politics?

Each section starts off with what everyone was talking about that year. Did you like that addition?

What did you think about Mallory and Leland’s friendship overall?

Mallory and Fray hook up at Cooper’s wedding and she ends up getting pregnant with Link. What did you think about that?

Do you think that Link and Jake’s daughter Bess will get together?

What songs would you include in your 28 Summers Playlist?

Who would you cast to play Mallory and Jake in a screen adaptation of the book?
