Girlfriends!

Thank you, Amanda, for offering your home on the spur of the moment!  We had lots of food ( thanks  to all who brought it!) , fun and interesting discussion.....as usual!!   What a great book club!!

DISCUSSION QUESTIONS FOR "WHILE WE WERE WATCHING DOWNTON ABBEY"

Was this an enjoyable read?  Why or why not?
Did you see the importance of having girlfriends in this book?
Did "Barbie and Ken" make you want to puke!!??
Did you cheer when Samantha told (Dr.) Zachary off?
 Samantha  seemingly married Jonathan because he could provide for her many needs...He wanted to hear her "say" she loved him, not that she was just grateful for what he did for her and her family.  It made me think, "Do I treat God this way?"
Did you have any thoughts like that as you read?
Another "lesson".....Don't judge by outward appearances!  Talk about this a little.
Were you surprised that Brooke and Bruce Dalton got together or did you see it coming?
If you're a Downton Abbey fan, did the weekly viewings sound like fun?
Have you ever had more time than usual to complete a task and were less able to do it than when you had a pressing deadline, like Claire in writing her book?
Did you like that Claire changed her "genre" and was able to write incorporating what was going on in her "real" life?
If you had to choose, who would you rather be, Samantha, Claire or Brooke? Why?
Did you appreciate how Jonathan's mother, Cynthia, came through for Samantha in the end?
Would you recommend this book to others?  Why or why not?
