BOOK CLUB DISCUSSION GUIDE: FAKE IT LIKE YOU MEAN IT
Hello, dear readers! While Fake It Like You Mean It can be read on your own (and maybe should, if you cry easily), it also pairs well with friends. These are a few guided questions for book clubs or reader chats. Feel free to add your own or tweak as necessary.
Did you like Elle in the beginning of the book? Did you understand her? When did your opinion of her change?
Is Elle’s stubbornness a strength or a flaw?
What’s your most cherished memory? Would you rather remember it perfeclty, or relieve it real time once and then never again?
Do you think Elle would have still fallen for Adam if they hadn’t had to pretend?
What are some aspects and habits Elle adopted from Lovie without even realizing?
Did any quotes or scenes stand out?
How would the book be different if told from Lovie’s perspective?
Accepting help requires vulnerability. How does the fake relationship between Elle and Adam add an extra layer of vulnerability to the book?
Adam is a caregiver through and through, sometimes to his detriment. When did you see him begin to be selfish?
Bittersweet ending—love it or leave it?
