Book Club Questions: When Ivy Met Adam

No one loves a book club as much as I do. I love to read and to talk about reading. (That and snacks, of course. Always snacks!)

Know what I love even more than a good book club? Good book club discussion questions. So I wrote some for When Ivy Met Adam. Take a look at these and let me know what you think.
