Discussion starters for Ex
Here are some possible question to pose in your book club to get the discussion started:
* Do you see Adele as a victim? How much control does she take of her destiny? How have the events of the novel changed her?
* How does society and our justice system treat the falsely accused in these cases? Even if eventually cleared, some of the damage is forever. Discuss.
* Xandra and Joanne have different approaches to managing the privacy of their personal lives in their work. Discuss the pros and cons of openness versus privacy regarding sexual identity in their respective professions.

* Peter and Adele have conflicting views about how to manage/accept Jeremy’s sexual identity. What is the role of family friends and connections in supporting people in their coming out journeys?
