Here’s more about the book, along with our free Dirty Dozen downloadable discussion question guide for your spicy book club.
Book description
He’s a tattooed shirtless bad boy. My best friend’s brother. And the jerk on the other side of my bed.
I didn’t know bridesmaid was code for babysitter for the bride’s brother, but if that’s what my best friend needs of me for her dream wedding to go off without a hitch, that’s what I’ll do.
Even if Theo Monroe has been a pain in my rear since third grade.
Even if he should be responsible enough to not wreak havoc at his sister’s destination wedding.
Even if it means we have to share a hotel room in Hawaii, which might be the final duty that breaks me.
Not only does Theo know exactly how to push my buttons, but he never wears clothes, he’s hiding a litter of kittens in his room, and he keeps showing up with fresh-baked cookies that seemingly come from nowhere.
Also?
I have no idea what’s up with the tension between him and the groom.
Or why he’s so proud of the world’s strangest wedding gift.
Or why I suddenly want to know what makes him tick. The story behind his tattoos. How he can afford to rent a convertible in Hawaii. And if maybe all of that utter frustration and irritation I’ve felt for him for years is suppressed attraction that a good girl like me isn’t supposed to feel for the biggest bad boy of Snaggletooth Creek.
But I do know one thing.
When I find out his biggest secret and the answer to all of my questions, it will change everything.
The Worst Wedding Date book club discussion guide
**PLEASE BE AWARE THAT THIS DISCUSSION QUESTION GUIDE MIGHT INCLUDE SPOILERS**
We’ve provided the Dirty Dozen below; twelve spicy and intriguing questions to spark discussion and help you uncover the spine-tingling depths of the story.
The Dirty Dozen
Foreplay – Warm Up Questions
1. What’s the overall spice level? 1 (Not Spicy) – 10 (Spiciest Thing I’ve Ever Read)?
2. How does the spice level compare to the other books we’ve read together?
3. Do you think Emma’s optimism about her future with Chandler is genuine, or is she trying to convince herself? Have you ever seen someone get swept up in “the plan” instead of the person?
The Spicy Bits – Gettin’ Down and Dirty with the Plot
4. Did you sense the chemistry between them from the start, or were you surprised by the slow reveal of their past? When do you think the emotional tension tipped into something undeniable?
5. Is this book making a case for joy and playfulness over planning? How does Theo’s approach to life and energy contrast with Laney’s initial state?
6. Is brutal honesty sexy? Would you rather have a partner who makes dumb choices but owns them, or someone who plays it safe but withholds the truth?
7. Everyone needs a Sabrina, but could you handle a Sabrina? Where’s the line between tough love and just plain rude?
8. When Theo’s secret job is revealed, could you be with a partner who makes that kind of content? Would it be a hard limit, or are you open to it if there’s trust and honesty? What would make it a turn-on or a total deal-breaker?
9. “I want him because he’s life.” This is a full-body, soul-level attraction. When was the moment you fell for Theo—or Laney? Did this feel like lust, love, or something even riskier?
10. The Chocolate Chip Cookies. Sensory overload: food, feelings, and desire. What non-sexual moment in the book felt the most intimate to you?
11. Laney tried to logic her way into a mediocre relationship with Christopher. Have you ever had a “we’ll be happy once…” spiral? How do you recognize when love isn’t enough—or never was?
Aftercare – Final Thoughts
12. What does this story say about taking risks in love? Did Laney and Theo earn their happily ever after (HEA) and would you have made the same leap?
Bonus: What questions do you have for the author? If you could dog-ear a page with a question for the author, what would it be?
