Yours Truly book club questions

For the first 5 chapters, the way a good group chat asks them: a quick take-a-side question first, then one to chew on. This page stops at chapter 5, so nothing here spoils what comes after.

Chapter 1

  1. Was Gibson right to delay the chief vote, or was Briana right to call it favoritism?
  2. Which hit harder for Briana here: the approaching divorce or the fear of losing her anger?
  3. How does Alexis’s advice about Benny complicate Briana’s view of the delayed vote?

Chapter 2

  1. Was inventing a coworker girlfriend a clever fix or a mess waiting to happen?
  2. Which moment lands harder for Jacob: learning Amy will marry Jeremiah or embarrassing himself while Briana cares for Benny?
  3. What does Jacob’s retreat to the supply closet show about how he handles being overwhelmed?

Chapter 3

  1. Was Briana fair to lash out at Jacob after he tried to reassure her?
  2. Why does Jacob’s washcloth and shared silence briefly ease Briana’s hostility?
  3. How does Briana’s anger over Benny’s right to grieve shape the way she confronts Jacob?

Chapter 4

  1. Was Jacob right to opt out of the chief competition?
  2. Which lands harder: Jacob learning about Briana’s family or remembering his mother’s dialysis?
  3. What does Jacob’s agreement to confidential compatibility testing say about the limits he’s setting?

Chapter 5

  1. Did Jacob’s cupcake advice earn Briana’s goodwill, or was the doll the turning point?
  2. Which moment hits hardest: Benny’s eviction notice or Briana’s glimpse of Jacob’s tenderness with the doll?
