This week on the pod, we're covering "The Long Game" by Elena Armas, a light-hearted romance just in time for Valentine's Day. 50:54 no In this week's episode of Books and Boards, Kayla and Rachel cover The Long Game by Elena Armas. They reminisce about their time on the soccer field and share their Valentine's Day plans! In the next episode, they'll be covering a listener-recommended book, The Silent Patient by Alex Michaelides. Trust us, you don't want to miss it! BOOK CLUB QUESTIONS: 1. Do you think the way Adalyn’s dad treated her was warranted because he was her boss? If he had been kinder in that situation, do you think it would have changed Adalyn’s trajectory and character development? 2. How did you feel about the immediate use of the word “darling”? Did it feel sincere or slightly condescending? 3. In the earlier parts of the book, were you more Team Adalyn or Team Cameron? Or did you have another favorite character? 4. In multiple different scenarios Adalyn was stereotyped as a "princess" - did you agree with that stereotype? 5. This book had some fun twists that gave the characters more complexity and helped us understand why they were the way they were. Were you surprised by what happened with Cameron and his stalker? What about the big reveal at the end when we found out Josie was Adalyn’s half sister?
