Book description
My boss’s hot, chaotic son just crashed my luxury art retreat. I feel like running for the hills, but he’s begging for my help, and I can’t afford to lose my job.
An all-expenses-paid autumn break in the mountains at a luxury art retreat? As a broke single mom, I can’t believe my luck. Until my boss’s whirlwind son crashes my private cabin.
Charlie is my work problem, the rockstar Creative Director with a Kickstarter addiction and a charmed life. The man I can’t stand… or stop thinking about.
For two years, I’ve hidden my feelings. But as we explore the experimental art classes, small-town magic, and the wilderness, truths are exposed. Heat turns up and fake dating turns real.
I find myself falling for my office nemesis, but there’s something I don’t know. Charlie is keeping a secret, and it could ruin everything…
Falling Slowly 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. When something good shows up in your life, do you grab it with both hands or do you hesitate and overthink it first?
The Spicy Bits – Gettin’ Down and Dirty with the Plot
4. Letting go of ego to create sounds poetic, but in real life surrendering control can be terrifying. Where do you struggle more: ego getting in the way, or doubting you deserve the good things that come?
5. The hot tub scene is all tension, vulnerability, and simmering possibility. What made that moment work for you – the slow burn, the proximity, the unspoken things, or the risk of crossing a line?
6. A single perfect moment can feel more real than an entire relationship. What is one memory in your life that feels like its own little world, frozen and cherished?
7. Hindsight hits hard. When have you stayed silent instead of speaking up, only to realize later you should have said something? What held you back?
8. Art that unsettles vs. art that comforts. Where do you lean? Do you prefer beauty that soothes or truth that stings a little?
9. The idea of working at the edge of your ability – not too easy, not too overwhelming – is magnetic. Where in your life do you chase that sweet spot of challenge and thrill?
10. Supporting someone’s dreams and passions — even the quirky ones — can be intimate. What’s something small or unusual a partner could do that would make you feel seen and supported?
11. Possession isn’t the point here – creation, experience, and connection are. Do you value collecting things, or collecting stories and moments?
Aftercare – Final Thoughts
12. When you’ve poured yourself into someone or something and it ends, how do you comfort yourself? Do you retreat and rebuild alone, or lean on others to help you put the pieces back together?
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?
