Please be aware that this discussion guide will contain spoilers!

These are original discussion questions written by BookBrowse.
  1. Do you prefer traditional romance novels that have happy endings, or novels more like Noah's, which are bittersweet and more realistic? If you were a fan of Scarlett Stanton and her final novel didn't have a happy ending, because it was based on the true story of her marriage, how would you feel?
  2. Author Rebecca Yarros is known for her "romantasy" (romance and fantasy) novels. If you're a fan of Yarros for her fantasy, how was the experience reading this historical romance novel? How do you think the two different genres might lend themselves to different themes and stories?
  3. What did you think of Noah and Georgia's meet cute? How does their relationship compare to other enemies-to-lovers stories you've read? What about the characters and their personalities made their relationship work?
