DISCUSSION QUESTIONS The Guest List |
·
1. When
you read a murder mystery, do you try to solve the mystery as you read
the story?
·
2. We
read the perspectives of Aoife, Hannah, Jules, Johnno, Olivia and a
little with Will. It also jumps back and forth between the present and
the events leading up to the murder. What did you think about reading
all those different perspectives? Which character were you most engaged
with? Which one the least?
·
3. Let’s
first start with Jules. Why was she so eager to marry Will despite not
knowing him for very long? Why did you think she chose to ignore the
letter that said not to marry him?
·
4. We
have Olivia who is depressed and pretty haunted. When she’s describing
Steven and what happened, did you suspect it was Will or were you
surprised at that reveal? Do you think she’ll ever tell Jules about what
really happened with him?
·
5. What
did you think about Hannah’s storyline? She’s horrified to find out that
Charlie and Jules slept together after the birth of their child. Do you
think Hannah will leave Charlie or will they stay together?
·
6. Johnno
is distraught when he finds out that Will sabotaged his chance of being
on the show. Let’s talk about how that reveal caused him to finally
confront Will about their coverup.
·
7. A
fellow classmate named Darcey at the boarding school died after Will and
Johnno tied him up and left him behind with no way to escape. Johnno is
traumatized and feels guilty while Will takes no responsibility and
tries to say it was an accident. Let’s talk about our thoughts as we
read this. What does this say about Will how he always thought he was
going to get away with everything?
·
8. But
that’s not the only person Will harmed. He did an act of revenge porn on
Hannah’s sister and she eventually killed herself. Let’s talk about this
reveal.
·
9.
Did you think it was interesting that Will was so involved with all
those horrible actions that impacted so many of the characters? Or did
you think it was a little much?
·
10. What
did you think about the reveal that Aoife is the sister of Darcey? What
did you think about her reasons for having their wedding at the island?
Were you surprised that she ends up being the one to murder Will?
·
11. Let’s
talk about Johnno taking the blame for Will’s murder despite being
innocent. Do you think the truth will ever come out about Aoife?
·
Were you satisfied by the end?
