Tick Tock Lit and Chat:
QUESTIONS FOR BOOK CLUBS

Gail Ramsey loves discussing books so much so that she started a Lit and Chat book club several years ago with her sisters. The book club has become heartfelt gatherings of girlfriends who love to read and chat about books often with special guest appearances by authors. Now, discussing her novel as a book club pick is nothing short of a dream come true. These few talking tips only serve to get you started.

If you have a special request, questions, and/or would like to chat with the author, please e-mail Gail at gail@gailramsey.com.

1. There are some obvious signs of love gone wrong. Would you say there are also instances of love on a good path?

5. Do you think "p-m-s" made me do it is a viable defense?

9. Is justice blind? Is a courtroom a courtroom regardless of the locale? Was justice served? For whom?
10. What do you think of Spiegel as a lawyer? What about her reasoning on a professional and personal tip? Can you actually have sex on a desk? No. Really?
11. There were a few forks in the road. Right? Would you have handled any of these forks in the road differently if it were you?
12. What does living in the moment mean to you?
