Our book club's discussion guide for 'The Vanishing Half' completely fell apart mid-meeting
We were going through the printed questions I found online and realized half of them had spoilers for chapter 15. Had to pivot on the fly and just talk about the twins' childhood dynamic for 20 minutes instead. Anybody else ever had a book club resource totally backfire on you?

Preach @dylan_rodriguez, I learned that lesson the hard way when my group used a "character analysis" sheet that straight up revealed a major murder in the last chapter. We spent the whole meeting trying to un-spoil it for the slow readers and it was a COMPLETE disaster. Now I just print the chapter list and let everybody ramble, way better than some random online guide.
