Book description
HONOR
My perfect marriage is the perfect lie. While my movie-star husband screws his way through Hollywood, I smile for the cameras and play the devoted celebrity wife. Our family brand is worth millions, but I’m suffocating inside this gilded prison.
Then my mum gets terminal cancer, and I meet her insanely hot doctor. Noah doesn’t want my autograph—he wants me naked by his pool. And after years of my husband’s betrayals, I’m done being the good girl.
NOAH
Honor Chapman has been my fantasy since medical school, but the real woman puts every tabloid photo to shame. Her shameless husband treats her like a marketing asset while he plays the field everywhere else.
She deserves worship, not neglect. When I proposition her under the Provençal stars, I’m offering more than just mind-blowing sex—I’m offering her everything she’s been starved of.
What begins as a a chance for her to level the playing field becomes dangerously addictive for both of us. But when our secret threatens Honor’s empire and her children’s future, she faces the ultimate choice: safe misery or dangerous freedom.
Most affairs are just sex.
This one is rebellion.
A Fair Affair 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. Honor says monogamy is just centuries of social pressure and nothing more. So let’s settle it: is monogamy actually what we all want, or is it just what we’ve been told to want? No judgement, this is a safe space.
The Spicy Bits – Gettin’ Down and Dirty with the Plot
4. Honor admits Jackson’s cheating actually adds a little thrill to the marriage because neither of them ever quite knows where they stand. But she hates being made a fool of, so he’s supposed to be discreet. Pathetic or kind of genius? And be honest: has unpredictability ever made someone more attractive to you than they had any right to be?
5. Honor’s friend tells her to just go have an affair and find out what she’s missing. Worst advice or best advice? And would you actually take it?
6. Noah’s whole philosophy is that the last days of life should be more magical, not less, and that facing death head on is what makes you actually start living. Has that idea ever landed for you in real life, whether through losing someone, a close call, or just a moment so simple it felt like enough?
7. “You get sucked in by the money, the profile, the adrenaline rush, and you’ve told yourself you want it for so long you can’t remember if it’s fact or a story you made up.” We’re not just talking about careers here. What else does this apply to? Situationships? A whole personality you built around someone? The floor is open.
8. Role play makes an appearance and Honor finds it very fun indeed. Be honest: is role play something you find exciting, something that makes you want to laugh, or something you’d rather leave in the fiction where it belongs?
9. The book plays with taboo role play dynamics and hides it behind “two consenting adults having fun in a safe space.” How do you actually feel about exploring ethical boundaries in fiction and role play? Is there something that’s hot on the page that you’d never want in real life, or does reading about it ever make you curious about crossing your own lines?
10. Noah drops the full confession, the future, the face in every daydream, the whole lot, knowing it puts her in an impossible position. Was he out of line or is that the most romantic thing in the book? And what would you have done if you were Honor?
11. Initially, Honor knows Noah is it for her, but chooses an eight figure reminder of her marriage over blowing her life up for love. Is she being practical or a coward and, hand on heart, would you actually risk it all or would you take the money too?
Aftercare – Final Thoughts
12. In the end, Honor chooses herself, chooses Noah, and tells Jackson she wants a divorce. He asks about Burberry. Ugh. What’s the one thing from this book that’s going to stick with you?
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?
