The novel opens with Lily on a rooftop, grieving her complicated father and stumbling into a stranger — a beginning that feels romantic but is already layered with loss.
Discussion Questions
7 questions1.Lily's first scene finds her on a rooftop after her father's funeral, talking to a stranger about what it feels like to speak well of someone you didn't fully respect. What does this opening conversation reveal about Lily's inner life, and why do you think Hoover chooses grief as the starting point for this story?
2.Ryle introduces himself with a striking list of things he claims to want — all of them physical or immediate — and announces upfront that he doesn't do relationships. How does Hoover use that declaration to create both attraction and unease at the same time?
3.Lily describes her hometown of Plethora, Maine, and her desire to escape it, but she's also carrying it with her everywhere she goes. What early details suggest that Lily's past will be harder to leave behind than she hopes?
