Discussion Questions for "The Big 5-Oh"

1.  What did you think of the "Prudence" story at the beginning of each chapter?
2.  Did you make any connections with the donkey or any other characters in that story to any of the characters in the "real" story?
3.  Do you believe in love at first sight?
4.  Which of the love at first sight relationships do you think had the best chance of surviving?  Liv and Jared, Rand and Shelby, or Georgia and Dennis?  Why?
5.  Anything from the Bible come to mind when "explaining" what she claimed to be a "birthday curse"?
6.  Did you enjoy reading this book?  Find it an easy read?
7.  I remember reading, at some point, someone said, "Sometimes we are so busy following what we think are signs, that we forget to go to God and ask for His direction."  Do you agree with that?  Have you ever experienced that yourself?  Explain.
8.  Do you think you would have grown to love Missy Boofer as Liv did, or would she just have been an annoyance for you?
9.  Continuing with the theme of "growing relationships"......how would you have reacted to Georgia when she first approached Liv about her desires for Jared?
10.  What was your favorite part of the book?  The romance, the descriptions of the different places she went, the food, the characters, etc., etc., etc.???
11.  Were you surprised that Jared and Liv waited a year to get married?
12.  Have you ever wanted to escape from your life and go somewhere else for a just a little while?  Did Josie's place sound like somewhere you'd like to go?
13.  Would you like to read more books by Sandra Bricker?
14.  Would you recommend "The Big 5-OH" to others?
15.  If you had to choose between reading Persuasion once and the Big 5-OH five times, which would you choose!!??
