Hi, Louise, Just saw this post. Hope it's not too late for what you need. Your mention of the Junot Diaz story reminded me of a Lorrie Moore book of stories called "Self Help." There's a story in there called "How to be an Other Woman," which is narrated by a woman who can't stop seeing a married man. I think there are other stories in the book involving self-fulfilling prophecy.
It's a great book club topic. I'll see if I can think of others, if it's not too late for your club.
