As I was doing a review for this book, I think it would be great for a book club discussion. The answers aren't always obvious or what you're looking for, there are different characters that people could identify with and while the pace bothered me - it is obviously working for others. I think you'd have a lively discussion with it. But if you're looking for a romance - this isn't it.
