We Could Be So Good Discussion
BOARD: WE COULD BE SO GOOD by Cat Sebastian
▽TOPIC: Discussion Question 1: Predict Lisa’s reaction about having had to read a romance novel for our book club.
LISA: Is this a real discussion question?
MAXINE: Oh, I can’t wait to see what Chester says. For my part, I think she’ll rant about how if we were going to read a romance, why couldn’t it be about two women instead of two men?
LISA: I mean, maybe.
TYRELL: Excellent point, Maxine. If Lisa can stomach another romance, then we should definitely read a f-f one.
SUSETTE: I’ll admit that romance novels aren’t really my thing, but this one was sweet, and that’s why I think Lisa won’t have liked it. I definitely loved the historical aspect to it of newspaper reporters. It was a cool angle on an historical novel.
LISA: Wait, are you telling me I’m not sweet? Rude.
CHESTER: But accurate?
LISA: No comment.
MAXINE: I LOVED this book, Lisa. It has a cinnamon roll hero! Why did you hate it?
LISA: WTF, Maxine. When did I say I hated it? Also, wtf is a cinnamon roll hero?
CHESTER: I have to say, I would normally roast Lisa on this one, but aside from the rich white privilege character, this book had a lot going for it that she’d appreciate. Real issues facing gay men in the 1950s and great family dynamics.
TYRELL: Whoa, what just happened here?
NAOMI: Right? Chester, are YOU a cinnamon roll hero?
LISA: Chester is definitely not a hero, here.
NAOMI: Y’all, the flowers. That was one of my very favorite parts.
GRANT: I dug this one. I especially liked how we saw inside a real, day-to-day relationship.
