Average Rating:  3.67

Barb ran out to Jimmy John's and picked up sandwiches for the book club.  She also served beef barley soup and one of her famous, homemade Easter lamb cakes.  Delicious!


We couldn't find discussion questions so we just attacked different scenes, characters, and themes in the book.  We were intrigued by the stalking and hypnotherapy themes.  Most of us agreed that Saskia, the pathetic stalker, was our favorite character.  We also admired Kate, Lance's wife, who appears at the end of the book.  

One creepy scene discussed was when Saskia shows up at Ellen and Patrick's house in the middle of the night.  There were also many side discussions that can't be discussed on this blog!  Haha!  

Recommendation:  Overall, most enjoyed the book and rated it quite well.  Many talked about recommending this book to some select friends.  

BCDP:  Barb had us pick a number between 50 and 100 to determine the bcdp winner.  Joyce wins!  Unfortunately, we will not be able to enjoy one of her awesome desserts next month since she will be out of town.  Darn!

Other events:  The movie, Me Before You, makes it's grand entrance on June 3rd.  We are thinking of possibly seeing the movie together since it was a very popular, well-liked book we've read!
