Can you believe our first book club meeting is basically a week away? Mind blown! I am excited to discuss this book with all of you on March 24^th. If you haven’t registered for the book club meeting, please do so at the link below. The book club is completely free, well, not completely, you just need to buy the book or explore your local library for the copy of the book . I want this event to really be a discussion. I am looking forward to creating space to talk about this book and allowing ourselves to feel everything, even if the conversation gets a bit uncomfortable. It’s a great book that leaves room for connection and opens way for debates.

I am sharing a list of questions to encourage you to think about the book even more as well. These questions came to mind while I read the book for the second time. Though I will most likely ask a few of these questions, please feel free to bring questions of your own to the event. Happy Reading Folks.

1. How do you define love? Do you think our definition of love is defined by our perception of love or lack of love from childhood?
2. Are you comfortable with sharing how your childhood experiences shaped your perception of love?
3. How has today’s culture shaped our perception of love especially the use of social media?
