ovbc2024q4 — 2024-12-10 16:59:54 UTC

Anna has agoraphobia and an alcohol problem. Do you think this is the reason she is not a reliable narrator? And because of this, did it make you doubt that she was witness to a murder? And why do you think the author made her so flawed?

What did you think about the many film references Finn included in the story? Several times, what’s happening on screen is almost happening in Anna’s world as well. Have you seen any of those films?

The author dropped a lot of red herrings to try and keep the reader guessing. Did they work for you or did you see through them? Do you think they added value to the book? Talk about some of them.
